Hi All,

Does anybody know the difference between

a) creating portlet instances from the management console
(which comes on logging in with admin/admin )

b) creating portlet instances using *-object.xml

For eg:

I can create an instance of cmsportlet using management console
OR
I can create it using the following mapping (after making the relevant entry in portlets.xml)

 <deployment>
 <if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
 <parent-ref>HelloPortal</parent-ref>
 <page>
 <page-name>home</page-name>

 <window>
 <window-name>CMSPortletWindow</window-name>
 <instance-ref>CMSPortletInstance</instance-ref>
 <region>center</region>
 <height>0</height>
 </window>

 </page>

<deployment>
 <if-exists>keep</if-exists>
 <instance>
 <instance-name>CMSPortletInstance</instance-name>
 <component-ref>helloworld.MyCMSPortlet</component-ref>
 </instance>
 </deployment>

</deployments>
