Package com.epicentric.doctype Description

Provides support for multiple document types so that content can be rendered in a device-dependent manner. If the client is a desktop HTML browser, the document type is HTML; if the client is a wireless device, the document type is MOBILE. (Note that the MOBILE document type requires a wireless-enabled version of the Vignette Portal software.)

Secondary pages and PortalBeans can check for the document type to determine the appropriate content display. For example, a PortalBean supports multiple document types by supplying separate views (PortalBeanView objects). Each view supports one document type. A PortalBean need not provide the same set of views for all supported document types--it might have a view for one document type but not for another. A PortalBean's supported views are defined in the PortalBean's PortalBeanDescriptor.

The Vignette Portal administrative GUI includes a tool for maintaining the list of document types that are supported. The HTML document type is the default and cannot be deleted.
