The terms "Decorator" and "Decoration" are very close and may lead to confusion
*Page Decorator*
A Page Decorator renders the border (including header and footer) and possibly one or more menus around the Page content
as well as the layout of the Fragments output from a Page (e.g. column or row wise, single/maximized).
Menu rendering (if supported) is delegated by the Page Decorator to a Menu Decorator. If more than one menu is supported
a Menu Decorator must be defined for each. Also, explicitly suppressing the rendering of one or more menus must be
possible.
*Page Decoration* (or skin)
A Page Decoration supplies a css style and optionally image references to be used by a Page Decorator.
Furthermore, a Page Decoration can supply default css styles and optionally image references to be used by Menu
Decorators and Portlet Decorators.
They are already used and described in design doc "j2 Layout and decorator handling.pdf"
I need to correct myself. Those terms are described in the above mentioned document but not with the same meaning. I agree: the terms as I used them are confusing.
Maybe skin or style is more appropriate instead of Decoration? I also thought of 'theme' but that seems to cover more. Maybe decorators and skins together could be called that.
