About Views
Within each task portlet , there are one or more portlet views that define the user interface for the portlet. These portlet views are defined as View Declaration Language (VDL) files. Composite Application Framework (CAF) supports two types of VDL files:
For JSF 1.x projects, a VDL file is implemented as .view file structured with a proprietary
Software AG XML schema.
In Task Development version 10.5 and later, the default format for VDL files is .xhtml.
You can open a task view in the task editor, enabling you to modify the view to your custom requirements. You can:
Drag CAF controls from the Palette view directly on to the design canvas.
Specify properties for controls, for example, isVisible, isRendered, isDisabled.
Bind controls to managed beans.
Import portal resources into your view.
