Moving iViews on a Page
This section describes how to position an iView within a container of a layout on a page.
Procedure
...
1. Set the parameters for a JNDI lookup in the PCD.
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 on which you want to position an iView.
InitialContext iCtx = null;
try
{
iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
IPage myPage =(IPage)iCtx.lookup(
"pcd:portal_content/Desktop/finance");
3. Get a reference to the layout in which you want to move the iView, for example, by getting the default layout.
ILayout myLayout = myPage.getActiveLayoutObject();
You can also get a list of a page’s layouts by calling getLayouts() on the page.
4. Position the iView by calling setiViewContainer() and specifying the iView that you want to move, a container, and the position within the container to which you want to move the iView. The first position is 0, the second position is 1, and so forth.
myLayout.setiViewInContainer("testxml",
"com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.Cont1",1);
This moves the testxml iView in the page to the second position in the com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.Cont1 container of the default layout.
5. Save the changes to the layout.
...
myLayout.save();
