Use to create and manage portlet events for the portlets in the application. Portlet events enable interportlet communication.
Element | Description |
---|---|
Name |
Add
Click to create a new portlet event in the application. Remove Click to delete the currently selected portlet event. |
Qualified Name/ Unqualified Name |
Select whether the portlet event has a qualified or unqualified name.
Qualified Name Select to specify a fully qualified name (QName) for the portlet event. A QName consists of a namespace URI and a local part and provides a unique identifier for the event. Using QNames ensures that the portlet event names from this application do not conflict with portlet events from other applications when portlets from different applications are displayed on the same page.
Unqualified Name Select to use the application default namespace as the namespace for the portlet event (or the XML default namespace if no default namespace is defined for the application).
|
Payload Type |
Enter or browse for the data type of the payload provided by the selected portlet event. |
Description |
Enter a description for the selected portlet event. |
Aliases |
Use this panel to provide aliases for the portlet event. If a portlet triggers an event that does not match the QName of this event, but does match one of its aliases, the event handler renames the event, meaning that a portlet that consumes this event can still receive the payload from the triggered event.
Add Click to create an alias for the selected portlet event.
Remove Click to delete the currently selected alias. |
