How Do I: Create a Page Flow Based on a Control?

Portal Controls require a Pageflow to link their methods with Pageflow actions. A Control can be added to an existing Pageflow. To create the Pageflow at the same time as the control, take the following steps:

To Create a Control-Based Pageflow

  1. Run the Pageflow Wizard, select Pageflow from a java control. Then select a Portal control from the list, and click Next.
  2. Name the Pageflow, browsing to the correct directory if necessary, and click Next.
  3. Select methods to associate with actions in the pageflow, and click Create.
  4. Use the Source editor to "wire up" the Pageflow with the methods for the control. See Using Portal Controls for a description of this process.
