com.ibm.wps.portletservice.portletmenu
Interface MemoryMenuService

All Superinterfaces:

org.apache.jetspeed.portlet.service.PortletService

Deprecated. since 6.0. Support of the IBM portlet API may be removed in a future release of WebSphere Portal. Use of the Java Portlet API (javax.portlet) is recommended instead.

public interface MemoryMenuService
extends org.apache.jetspeed.portlet.service.PortletService

MemoryMenuService is a portlet service that allows the creation of a dynamic out-of-the-box portlet menu implementation that greatly facilitates the implementation of the MenuProvider interface. This service creates an In-Memory tree that either has only one unnamed root node or incorporates an existing tree model, which can be both static or dynamic.

A menu tree instance that is created by the MemoryMenuService also exposes the following controller interfaces: MenuTreeInfoCtrl, MenuTreeInfoCopyCtrl, MenuTreeTopologyCtrl and MemoryMenuTreeTopologyCtrl.

The following code shows how MenuProvider.getMenu(com.ibm.wps.portlet.menu.MenuContext) can be implemented to return a MenuTree using MemoryMenuService.

 public MenuTree getMenu(MenuContext menuContext) throws PortletException
 {      // get service
     MemoryMenuService service=null;
 
     try
     {          service = (MemoryMenuService) portletContext.getService(MemoryMenuService.class);
     }
     catch ( PortletServiceUnavailableException e )
     {          throw new PortletException ("MemoryMenuTreePortlet: Exception: MemoryMenuService is unavailable");
     }
     catch ( PortletServiceNotFoundException e )
     {          throw new PortletException ("MemoryMenuTreePortlet: Exception: MemoryMenuService has not been found");
     }
 
     // get tree
     try
     {          menuTree = service.getMenuTree("myRootId", contextOnLocalThread);
 
     }
     catch ( MenuTreeException mte )
     {          throw new PortletException ("MemoryMenuTreePortlet: Exception getting menu tree from service");
     }
 
     return (menuTree);
 }
 

Since:

5.0

Method Summary
MenuTree	getMenuTree(MenuTree parent, MenuContext menuContext)           Deprecated. Creates an in-memory copy of the portlet menu tree represented by parent.

Method Detail

getMenuTree

MenuTree getMenuTree(java.lang.String rootID,

Parameters:

rootID - identifier of the root element

menuContext - context to get access to the current PortletRequest and PortletResponse.

Returns:

in-memory menu tree

Throws:

MenuTreeException - if the tree cannot be created

                     throws MenuTreeException

Parameters:

parent - menu tree to copy

menuContext - context to get access PortletRequest and PortletResponse
