Adding a Shared Managed Bean and Attachments Provider Reference
This procedure creates an attachments provider shared managed bean and reference in an Attachments List Panel control. For more information about the Attachments List Panel control, see webMethods CAF Tag Library Reference.
You can use this procedure with any of the available attachments providers. When using the Portal Container Attachments Provider, you must also create a binding expression to the container ID for the attachment storage. For more information, see
