Setting the Default Layout for a Page

Context

This section describes how to set a page's default layout. A page's default layout is the layout used for rendering if the page's layout has not been personalized.

Procedure


  1. Set the parameters for the JNDI lookup.

    Hashtable env = new Hashtable();

env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
    IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);

  2. Perform a lookup of the page for which you want to set the default layout.

    InitialContext iCtx = null;
try
{
    iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
    IPage myPage =(IPage)iCtx.lookup(
        "pcd:portal_content/Desktop/finance");
 
...

  3. Set the default layout by specifying the layout's atomic name.

    myPage.setActiveLayout("narrowWideNarrow");

  4. Save the changes.

    ...
 
    myPage.save();
 
}       
catch(NamingException e)
{
}
