Portlet Entity ID

Format

Contains 3 parts, separated by an underscore.

<portlet-definition-id>_<layout-node-id>_<user-id>

Example:

• portlet definition ID:  88
• layout node ID:  n149
• user ID:  52
• Formatted:  88_n149_52

Portlet Window ID

A portlet window ID can be thought of as a portlet entity ID with an optional portlet window instance ID added.

Format

With Portlet Window Instance ID

Contains 2 parts, separated by a period.

<portlet-entity-id>.<portlet-window-instance-id>

Example:

• portlet entity ID:  88_n149_52
• portlet window instance ID:  1
• Format:  88_n149_52.1

Without Portlet Window Instance ID

See Portlet Entity ID Format.

Stateless Portlet Windows

For stateless portlet windows, the portlet window-instance ID used is "tw".

Example portlet window ID:  5_ctf1_18.tw

Portlets with Delegate

For portlets that have a delegate portlet, the portlet entity ID will consist of a specially-formatted layout node ID.

Layout Node ID Format:  <delegate-prefix>-<delegate-portlet-modified-window-id>

By definition, "delegate-prefix" is:  dlg

The "delegate-portlet-modified-window-id" is the portlet window ID of the delegate portlet, with the underscores replaced by dashes.

• Example 1:  88_n149_52 --> 88-n149-52
• Example 2:  5_ctf1-18.tw --> 5-ctf1-18.tw

Overall Example:

• delegate portlet window ID:  5_ctf1_18.tw
• portlet entity ID:  146_dlg-5-ctf1-18.tw_18

• How does channelPublishId relate to portletDefinitionId (are they the same)?
• How does subscribeId relate to layoutNodeId (are they the same)?
