Interface IPortletInstanceManager

All Known Subinterfaces:
  PortalCustomizationManager

    public interface IPortletInstanceManager

This is the primary interface for performing persistent store operations on `PortletInstances`. In general this interface provides coarse grain getters and fine grain setters.

It is important to note that all methods on this interface are fully internationalized and entitled. All `titles` and `descriptions` on the objects returned by these methods are internationalized to the preferred locale. Also, all methods are entitled, meaning if the caller does not have the required credentials the method may return a subset of the actual list or be unable to perform the specified function.

Most "Instances" can be thought of as objects tied to a desktop, An Admin has instances derived from the library Definition, and the "end user" has instances derived from the admin instance. Changes made via these APIs require a DesktopDefinitionId and the changes are scoped to that desktop. In other words changes made here do not affect the library or other Desktops. If the "visitorMode" on the customization Context is set the false (default) and the user executing the call is in the "Admin" or "PortalSystemAdministrator" role then these changes take affect at the admin level, and affect ALL users. If the visitorMode is false then the changes only affect the calling user.

  `CustomizationContext.setVisitorMode(boolean)`
  This interface is intended to be implemented only by BEA Weblogic Portal.BEA Systems reserves the right to add abstract methods to this interface without notice. Implementations of this interface by other parties must not be expected to compile without change in future versions of BEA Weblogic Portal.

Method Detail

### getPortletView

    PortletView getPortletView(CustomizationContext customizationContext,
                               PortletInstanceId portletInstanceId)
                               throws RemoteException

  Getter for returning an immutable deep `PortletView`. The `PortletView` object, unlike the `PortletDefinition` or the `PortletInstance` objects contains a full set of references to all child portlets, portlets and so on. The `PortletView` object, however is immutable.

  Parameters
    `customizationContext` - customization information such as Locales and DesktopInstanceId
    `portletInstanceId` - the unique portletInstanceId.
  Returns
    an immutable deep PortletView object if one exists, otherwise null.
  Throws
    `RemoteException`

### getPortletInstance

    PortletInstance getPortletInstance(CustomizationContext customizationContext,
                                       PortletInstanceId portletInstanceId)
                                       throws RemoteException

  Getter for returning a single `PortletInstance`.

  Parameters
    `customizationContext` - the preferred language, country and variant to which the titles and descriptions are returned.
  Returns
    a fully populated PortletInstance object.
  Throws
    `RemoteException`
  See Also
    `PortletDefinition`

### updatePortletInstance

    PortletInstance updatePortletInstance(CustomizationContext customizationContext,
                                          DesktopDefinitionId desktopDefinitionId,
                                          PortletInstance portletInstance)
                                          throws RemoteException,
                                                 ObjectNotFoundException,
                                                 NotEntitledException

  Update the portlet instance with the new data. If the portlet instance is the primary portlet instance then a new instance will be created specifically for this user or admin.

  For an admin editing a portlet outside the context of a desktop (i.e. in a library) you should use `updatePortletInstance(PortletInstance)`

  .

  Parameters
    `desktopDefinitionId` - the desktop context this instance is associated with.
    `portletInstance` - the portlet instance containing the new data
  Returns
    the new updated portlet instance, with possible a new portletInstanceId
  Throws
    `ObjectNotFoundException` - if the PortletInstanceId in the PortletInstance, or desktopInstanceId is bogus.
    `RemoteException`
    `NotEntitledException`

    `updatePortletInstance(CustomizationContext,PortletInstance)`
