Interface PortletCategoryView

All Superinterfaces:

CategoryView, Serializable, View

public interface PortletCategoryView

extends CategoryView

"Views" are deep copy immutable objects. Unlike "Definitions" and "Instances" Views cannot be modified by the developer. A Instance or a Definition however can always be obtained from the view. The persistence APIs provides course grain and fine grain getters but only fine grain setters. If you are interested in an object and all its children then retrieve the View, if you are only interested in the immediate object and don't care about its children then retrieve the Definition.
