Desktop Properties

When you select the desktop in the Portal Designer, the following properties appear in the Property Editor window:

Title Required. Enter a title for the desktop. The title is used only for labeling in the Portal Designer.
Definition Label Required. Each component must have a unique identifier. A default value is entered automatically. Definition labels can be used to navigate to books, pages, or portlets. Also, components must have definition labels for entitlements and delegated administration.
Backing File Optional. If you want to use a class for preprocessing (for example, authentication) prior to rendering the portlet, enter the fully qualified name of that class. That class should implement the interface com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.content.backing.JspBacking or extend com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.content.backing.AbstractJspBacking.
Tree Optimization Optional. Using this function improves performance, especially for portals that have large control trees (books, pages, portlets). If this flag is set to "true," the portal framework will generate a partial control tree rather than the full tree. Tree optimization causes slight changes in the behavior of the portal and should not be used without first performing a complete regression test on the portal.
Look and Feel Required. Select the Look & Feel to determine the default desktop appearance (combination of skins and skeletons).
Shell Required. Select the default shell for the area outside of the books, pages, and portlets. Shells determine the content for the desktop header and footer.
