Package com.epicentric.page Description

Implements a dynamic, flexible mechanism for specifying the layout of portlets for end-user display, and for storing sets of portlets specified by adminsitrators or end users. The page package supports the features that enable Vignette Portal administrators to customize pages that display portlets without Java or web programming.

Vignette Portal pages are Java objects that serve as containers for portlets that are available to end users. The display of portlet content itself is controlled by the portlets, not the page. (Vignette Portal pages are not to be confused with JavaServer Pages technology, which relates to files on disk having a .jsp extension.)

Vignette Portal administrators can create any number of pages and configure them in a variety of ways, including these:

• Number of rows and columns, and their positioning and width
• Portlet sets to be displayed, and their positioning within the rows and columns
• Chrome (surrounding border style) for each portlet set
• Portlet locks (preventing end users from removing selected portlets)
• Page locks (preventing end users from changing the page content)

A page is made available for display on a site by associating it with a menu item and by granting specific user groups permission to use that item. Each menu item can have its own look-and-feel styles associated with it or can use the site's styles.
