Configure Portlet-Instances

[tomhombergs]

Hi,

I've been searching for a way to "configure" portlet instances. I'd like to have several instances of the same portlet in the portal, but each should behave differently, depending on some parameter passed at instantiation.

Is there a way to store some parameter for each portlet instance? Either through the admin interface or programmatically?

Hi Tom,

what about using the descriptor portlet-instances.xml?

"...This is a JBoss Portal specific descriptor that allows a developer to instantiate one-or-many instances of one-or-many portlets. The benefit of using this technique, is to allow one portlet to be instantiated several times with different preference parameters. ..."
