Portlet content display direction  Continuous capture mechanism

Chapter 1: Developer Features

Continuous capture

Continuous capture allows portlet developers to capture a set of related Web pages and define how to extract and display the content from those pages within Enterprise Portal. You can preserve the original Web site’s page structure, and redefine how to present each captured page. End users can navigate through the page set using embedded hyperlinks. Prior to version 6.1, you could extract content only for single pages.

This enhancement allows you more control over content and presentation of captured Web pages. For example, you can extract tabular data and present it in a structured, grid-oriented layout, and build drill-down portlets. This allows you to create portlets that use click-across functionality more effectively.

NoteWhen you create a continuous capture portlet that uses parameters, create and save the portlet, then edit the portlet to configure the parameters; that is, do not configure parameters during the original portlet creation.
