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. |
