Package com.ibm.portal.wire Description

This package defines information about communication connections between two endpoints or communication, i.e. the CommunicationSources and CommunicationTargets defined by portlets.

Package Specification

A Wire describes a connection between a communication source and a communication target that is used to transfer information

These interconnections are condensed in the WireModel which represents a list of wires. The wire model itself can be obtained through a WireModelProvider which is implemented by the LayoutModel. All wires in the wire model provided by a given layout model originate from the page represented by this layout model. The model is specific to a given user, i.e. the wires contained might be different for different users due to access control settings.

A WireLocator can be provided by the wire model and provided multiple ways for looking up wires in the model.

A WireModelController serves as write model to an existing wire model and is provided through a WireModelControllerProvider which is implemented by the LayoutModelController. All wires created by this controller originate from the page represented by the layout model controller.

A WireCreationContext is used for creating or changing wires.

A ModifiableWire provides methods for changing modifiable wire data
