Portlet settings for the JSR 286 Web content viewer

The Portlet Settings section defines additional settings for the JSR 286 Web content viewer, such as the title of the portlet to display or whether the markup of the Web content viewer should be cached in the portlet fragment cache.

Portlet Display Title

You can set the portlet title that is displayed for the Web content viewer as part of the portlet window for this instance of the portlet.

Select Use default title to display the title that was set for the portlet in the portal administration.
Select Set the following title, and enter a portlet title that should be used for all languages. If the input field is left empty, the default title is used. To explicitly set the title to be empty, you must enter a blank.
Select Select from resource bundle, and enter the fully qualified name of the Java™ resource bundle that is used to set the title, depending on the user's language (for example, com.mycompany.myapplication.myresourcebundlename).
The structure of the resource bundle must follow the specification defined by the Java java.lang.ResourceBundle class. The key that is used to look up the title in the resource bundle is javax.portlet.title.

The resource bundle must be located in a directory that is part of the classpath of the Web content viewer. The preferred way to do this is to create a new shared library that contains the custom resource bundle files using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console. Creating a new shared library that contains the resource bundle allows a clean separation of the custom resource bundle code from the base WebSphere Portal code. After creating a shared library, you need to add it to the classpath of WebSphere Portal application server classloader.
Select Select from content to use the value of the Display title field for the content item that is displayed by the portlet.

Page Display Title

You can set the page title that is part of the page header and that is normally displayed by the browser window's title bar. If more than one portlet on the same page tries to set the page title, only one of these titles is taken.

Select Use default title to display the title that was set for the page in the administration Manage Pages portlet.
Select Set the following title, and enter a page title that should be used for all languages. If the input field is left empty, the default title is used. To explicitly set the title to be empty, you must enter a blank.
Select Select from resource bundle, and enter the fully qualified name of the Java resource bundle that is used to set the page title, depending on the user's language (for example, com.mycompany.myapplication.myresourcebundlename).
The structure of the resource bundle must follow the specification defined by the Java java.lang.ResourceBundle class. The key that is used to look up the title in the resource bundle is javax.portlet.title.

The resource bundle must be located in a directory that is part of the classpath of the Web content viewer. The preferred way to do this is to create a new shared library that contains the custom resource bundle files using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console. Creating a new shared library that contains the resource bundle allows a clean separation of the custom resource bundle code from the base WebSphere Portal code.

Select Select from content to display the Display title of the currently rendered content.

Portlet Cache Options

You can define whether the output of the Web content viewer is cached in the portlet fragment cache. The cache scope determines where the content will be cached. There are two types of caching:

Shared cache across users: This type of cache provides the biggest performance improvement as it caches the output of the portlet across users. Use this cache scope only for Web content viewers that render Web content that is not personalized.
Non-shared cache for a single user: This type of cache provides a smaller performance improvement but enables caching of personalized Web content that is displayed by the Web content viewer.

The cache expiration time determines how long the page is stored in a portlet fragment cache. There are three settings for cache expiration:

Cache always expires: Content is never cached in either a shared or a private portlet cache.
Cache never expires: Content can be stored indefinitely in either a shared or a private portlet cache.
Cache expires after this many seconds: Content is stored for the number of seconds specified in either a shared or a private portlet cache.

Note: To cache the markup output of the Web content viewer, the portlet fragment cache must be enabled. The WebSphere Portal information center contains more information about the caching of portlet output and explains how to enable the portlet fragment cache.

Locked settings

If a lock icon is displayed for setting instead of an Edit link, the setting has been locked using the Configure mode and cannot be changed in the Edit Shared Settings mode.
