About Portlet Modes
Portlet modes are defined in the Java JSR-168 portlet standard to indicate the function a portlet is to perform. All portlets must operate in view mode. You can specify additional modes for a portlet as required. The following modes are available in Composite Application Framework:
Portlet Mode
Description
View
The user can view, navigate, or interact with the portlet. The view mode is required and is selected by default for all portlets. Composite Application Framework creates a View Declaration Language (VDL) file in the portlet with the name default.view.
Edit
Creates an edit page that enables user customization or preference setting for the portlet. When you select this mode, Composite Application Framework creates a VDL file in the portlet with the name edit.view.
