Containers. Administrators publish an instance of this folder type to a My webMethods Server to provide a way to view the contents of an NNTP newsgroup. The NNTP Folder polls an NNTP newsgroup and creates entries within the folder for each newsgroup message it retrieves.
Typically,
My webMethods Server uses the
Mime Message Folder Renderer Portlet or
NNTP Folder Threaded View Portlet to render an instance of a
NNTP Folder.
A user can click a newsgroup message to view the contents of that message.
The NNTP Folder also adds a Fetch New Articles option to the Tools menu so that end users can force an immediate refresh of messages from the NNTP newsgroup, overriding the refresh interval.
Extended Properties
Refresh Interval (refreshInterval)
Indicates how many hours you want the portlet to wait before polling the NNTP newsgroup again to check for new newsgroup messages. Specify 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, or 24 hours. If the property has no value, for example, when set to an empty value, then the portlet continuously polls the mailbox.
Connection Parameters
Host (host)
Identifies the NNTP server for the NNTP newsgroup. Specify the host name of the server. If the property has no value, the portlet does not make attempts to retrieve newsgroup messages and, as a result, the NNTP Folder will contain no content.
Port (port)
Identifies the port to use to connect to the NNTP server. Specify the port number. The standard NNTP server port number is 119. If the property has no value, for example, when set to an empty value, then the portlet does not make attempts to retrieve newsgroup messages and, as a result, the NNTP Folder will contain no content.
User Name (userName)
Identifies the user name the portlet is to supply to the NNTP server for authentication. Specify a valid user name for the NNTP server. If the property has no value, the portlet cannot retrieve messages and, as a result, the NNTP Folder will contain no content.
Password (password)
Provides the password for the user name. The NNTP Folder portlet supplies this password, along with the user name, to the NNTP server for authentication. If the property has no value, the portlet cannot retrieve messages and, as a result, the NNTP Folder will contain no content.
NewsGroup Name (newsGroupName)
Identifies the newsgroup to poll. Specify the name of the newsgroup. If the property has no value, the portlet will retrieve no messages and, as a result, the NNTP Folder will contain no content.
The Mime Message Folder Renderer Portlet displays the list of newsgroup messages as a table.
