Abstract
Backing files and backing contexts can be associated with portal elements controls for the construction of a portal. The backing files and backing contexts can allow interactions with the portal element controls before rendering. In one embodiment, developers are allowed to have access to backing files and backing contexts. The backing files allows developer code to be run before rendering. The backing contexts allow the setting and getting of information from the portal element controls.
Claims20
A portal including:
- portal element control with lifecycle methods;
- and
- a backing file for the portal element control, the portal element control using backing file code of the backing file in at least one lifecycle method before the rendering of the portal element.
A method comprising:
- constructing a portal using a portal element control with lifecycle methods, the portal element control being associated with a backing file;
- and
- using backing file code of the backing file in at least one lifecycle method of the portal element control before the rendering of the portal element.
A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor cause a system to:
- construct a portal using a portal element control with lifecycle methods, the portal element control being associated with a backing file;
- and
- use backing file code of the backing file in at least one lifecycle method of the portal element control before the rendering of the portal element.
