Interface RegionRenderer

All Superinterfaces:

Renderer

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface RegionRenderer

extends Renderer

A region renderer is responsible to create the markup container for a set of portlets on a page region.

The Portlets on a portal page can be assigned to regions of that page. Regions are sub elements of a page, that will be used by a layout to position groups of portlets over the areas of the page. The region renderer can be invoked to render the entire content of the region. It is assumed to take over the responsibility of delegating to the WindowRenderer for each portlet that needs to be rendered in the region in question.
