Provides the default iView as IAttributeSet implementation.


New object creation

Provides a descriptor.
IiViews iSrv = (IiViews)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IiViews.KEY);
String targetId = null;
try
{
iDesc = (INewObjectDescriptor)iSrv.instantiateDescriptor(createMethod, targetUrl, user);
}
catch (OperationFailedException e)
{
// ...
}
catch (ObjectNotFoundException e)
{
// ...
}
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.PcdInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user);
try
{
InitialContext iCtx = new com.sapportals.portal.prt.jndisupport.InitialContext(env);
Context ctx = (Context)iCtx.lookup(folderName);
ctx.bind(newName, iDesc);
}
catch (NamingException e)
{
// ...
}

Parameters:
TargetId :
The target id is the JNDI name of a template that the object will be based upon. The target can be:
- PCD url (i.e. 'pcd:/portal_content/Test/testiView01' or portal_content/Test/testiView01')
- Application component (i.e. 'ApplicationName.ComponentName' or 'par:/applications/ApplicationName/components/ComponentName')
- External url (i.e. 'otherPrefix:/Test/TestObj01')

CreateMethod :
When creating an object upon a PCD-template-object, the object can be created as either NEW or DELTA_LINK.
For other type objects, the CreateMethod can be NEW only.

Throws:
ObjectNotFoundException :
When trying to create a new object based on a unexists PCD object.

OperationFailedException :
