Interface PortletRenderer

All Superinterfaces:

ObjectRenderer

All Known Implementing Classes:

DivPortletRenderer, DynaPortletRenderer, EmptyPortletRenderer

public interface PortletRenderer
extends ObjectRenderer

The portlet renderer is responsible for adding the created markup of a portlet to the page.

The portlet renderer is intended to be called by the WindowRenderer as part of the generation of the markup for a portlet window. The portlet renderer is not responsible for generating the decoration markup, like the title. The DecorationRenderer is responsible for that. It is also called by the WindowRenderer as part of the render process for one portlet window.
