Portlet Publishing Types
About Portlet Publishing Types
uPortal provides a number of reusable portlet publishing "types." While it's possible to configure any portlet via the generic portlet type, creating and using publishing types allows implementers to provide pre-configured settings for commonly used configurations. For example, the "Web Proxy Portlet" publishing type is pre-configured to know the application path and portlet name of uPortal's bundled web proxy portlet application and is explicitly configured with a list of configuration parameters.
