I think there should be a config panel hook for all portlets, there probably must
be one for all daemons. I think portlet customizatio should behave a bit like
JavaBeans instanciation :
- a generic smart implementation using reflection or some simple descriptive
methods
- a full cutomization hook where the portlet takes charge of its complete
administration.
Code example:
In the Portlet Interface :
getParameterInfo() : returns a class (or struct) describing the parameters allowed
for customization
setParameters( Dictionary ) : allows the portlet to store in its config object the
parameter values gathered by the standard GUI.
We could also define a Customizable interface with a getCustomizer() method.
If the Portlet implements this method, then the customizer takes charge of
gathering the parameter info needed for the portlet.
If these functions are called in user context (currently Home screen), the changes
are
stored in the user PSML file ; if it's in Administration context (Admin screen), the
modification are stored in the registry...
