com.ibm.wps.portlet.menu
Interface MenuNode

Deprecated. since 6.0. Support of the IBM portlet API may be removed in a future release of WebSphere Portal. Use of the Java Portlet API (javax.portlet) is recommended instead.

public interface MenuNode

MenuNode represents the elements of a menu topology. It can be used to get information on the title, description, URL, etc for each node in a menu.

The tree model MenuTree provides methods to get information about the tree topology, i.e., which parent node has which child nodes, and return instances of MenuNode. The methods of MenuNode allow to view node-specific information, i.e.,

• Locale-dependent title and description for a specific locale
• Locale-dependent title and description for the locale of the current request, which is retrieved from MenuContext.
• Node ID and scope
• URL (=Universal Resource Locator) including action string and parameters. The method uses the current request, which is retrieved from MenuContext.

Since:

5.0

Note:

This interface is designed to be implemented by clients.
