In addition, this tutorial will introduce the concepts of Authoring Templates and Page Design Sheets, patterns that you will find particularly useful in creating XWiki applications.

If you previously chose to use a "Custom creation form" for creating new FAQ entries, follow these steps: Go to FAQ.WebHome Below the "Add a new question" header, enter a question (which will also be used as the document title) in the Document field Click Create this FAQ You can then enter your question in longer form using the Question field on the template, like this: Click Save & View and then you will see the newly created document, like this: Go back to the FAQ.WebHome page (you can use the breadcrumbs) to see the list of existing questions Conclusion This tutorial has taught you how to use the Class Wizard app and it has detailed the concepts of classes, objects and properties and introduced the authoring templates and page design sheets.

You can use these basic concepts to build custom applications at the document or presentation layer of XWiki without having to compile or deploy code.

The Java Portlet Specification allows coordination on the UI layer with different means, such as events, application sessions, and public render parameters, in order to provide a deep and seamless integration between the different services. Portlet Concepts a portal is a web based application that commonly provides personalization, authentication, content aggregation from different sources and hosts the presentation layer of information systems a portlet is an application that provides a specific piece of content (information or service) to be included as part of a portal page web clients interact with portlets via a request/response paradigm implemented by the portal a portlet container runs portlets and provides them with the required runtime environment manages the life cycle of portlets provides persistent storage for portlet preferences a portlet mode indicates the function a portlet is performing in the render method standard portlet modes are: view, edit and help view: generate markup reflecting the current state of the portlet edit: customize the behavior of the portlet help: provide help information about the portlet a portlet window is the visual component used to display the content generated by a portlet within portal pages a window state is an indicator of the amount of portal page space that will be assigned to the content generated by a portlet via the render method possible window states are: normal, maximized and minimized Portlet Life Cycle The life cycle of a portlet is expressed through the init, processAction, render and destroy methods of the Portlet interface.
