                                                   int end)
throws RemoteException, ObjectNotFoundException
Returns an array of PorletCategoryViews for sibling categories of the category represented by pcdId in the begin and end range. If fewer categories than (begin-end) exist then the former number of category views is returned. If no definitions are found an empty array is returned.
Implementation has to ensure that repeated calls to this method return PortletCategoryViews in a consistent order.
Same caveat as method getCategoryView applies.

Parameters

customizationContext
customization information such as prefered locales
pcdId
PortletCategoryDefinitionId
begin
begin index
end
end index

Returns

an array of PortletCategoryDefinitions

Exceptions

RemoteException
ObjectNotFoundException
if category does not exist
