Interface PortletConfig

Known Implementing Classes:
GenericPortlet

public interface PortletConfig

The PortletConfig interface provides the portlet with its configuration. The configuration holds information about the portlet that is valid for all users. The configuration is retrieved from the portlet definition in the deployment descriptor. The portlet can only read the configuration data.

The configuration information contains the portlet name, the portlet initialization parameters, the portlet resource bundle and the portlet application context.
