[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: Design Portlet

[PeterJ]

To declare multiple instances of a portal, assuming the portal is named p1, portlet-instances.xml would contain:

<deployments>
  |   <deployment>
  |     <instance>
  |       <instance-id>inst1</instance-id>
  |       <portlet-ref>p1</portlet-ref>
  |       <preferences>
  |         <preference>
  |           <name>xxx</name>
  |           <value>aaaaaaa</value>
  |         </preference>
  |       </preferences>
  |     </instance>
  |   </deployment>
  |   <deployment>
  |     <instance>
  |       <instance-id>inst2</instance-id>
  |       <portlet-ref>p2</portlet-ref>
  |       <preferences>
  |         <preference>
  |           <name>xxx</name>
  |           <value>bbbbbbb</value>
  |         </preference>
  |       </preferences>
  |     </instance>
  |   </deployment>
  |   . . .
  | </deployments>
  | 

The key is that the portlet is coded to use the use the preferences to customize it.

You can define a base portlet class that does a lot of the common tasks and extend that class. You would then, in portlet.xml, declare a portlet for each of the subclasses.
