This is the XML Schema for the Portlet 2.0 deployment descriptor.
The following conventions apply to all J2EE
deployment descriptor elements unless indicated otherwise.
- In elements that specify a pathname to a file within the
same JAR file, relative filenames (i.e., those not
starting with "/") are considered relative to the root of
the JAR file's namespace. Absolute filenames (i.e., those
starting with "/") also specify names in the root of the
JAR file's namespace. In general, relative names are
preferred. The exception is .war files where absolute
names are preferred for consistency with the Servlet API.
The portlet-app element is the root of the deployment descriptor
for a portlet application. This element has a required attribute version
to specify to which version of the schema the deployment descriptor
conforms. In order to be a valid JSR 286 portlet application the version
must have the value "2.0".
The portlet element contains the name of a portlet.
This name must be unique within the portlet application.
The custom-portlet-mode element contains the portlet-mode.
This portlet mode must be unique within the portlet application.
The custom-window-state element contains the window-state.
This window state must be unique within the portlet application.
The user-attribute element contains the name the attribute.
This name must be unique within the portlet application.
The filter element contains the name of a filter.
The name must be unique within the portlet application.
The init-param element contains the name the attribute.
This name must be unique within the portlet.
The supports element contains the supported mime-type.
This mime type must be unique within the portlet.
The preference element contains the name the preference.
This name must be unique within the portlet.
The security-role-ref element contains the role-name.
This role name must be unique within the portlet.
Caching scope, allowed values are "private" indicating that the content should not be shared
across users and "public" indicating that the content may be shared across users.
The default value if not present is "private".
Used in: portlet
A custom portlet mode that one or more portlets in
this portlet application supports.
If the portal does not need to provide some management functionality
for this portlet mode, the portal-managed element needs to be set
to "false", otherwise to "true". Default is "true".
Used in: portlet-app
A custom window state that one or more portlets in this
portlet application supports.
Used in: portlet-app
Expiration-time defines the time in seconds after which the portlet output expires.
-1 indicates that the output never expires.

The container-runtime-option element contains settings
for the portlet container that the portlet expects to be honored
at runtime. These settings may re-define default portlet container
behavior, like the javax.portlet.escapeXml setting that disables
XML encoding of URLs produced by the portlet tag library as
default.
Names with the javax.portlet prefix are reserved for the Java
Portlet Specification.
Used in: portlet-app, portlet
Declaration of the filter mappings in this portlet
application is done by using filter-mappingType.
The container uses the filter-mapping
declarations to decide which filters to apply to a request,
and in what order. To determine which filters to
apply it matches filter-mapping declarations on the
portlet-name and the lifecyle phase defined in the
filter element. The order in which filters are invoked
is the order in which filter-mapping declarations
that match appear in the list of filter-mapping elements.
Used in: portlet-app
The filter element specifies a filter that can transform the
content of portlet requests and portlet responses.
Filters can access the initialization parameters declared in
the deployment descriptor at runtime via the FilterConfig
interface.
A filter can be restricted to one or more lifecycle phases
of the portlet. Valid entries for lifecycle are:
ACTION_PHASE, EVENT_PHASE, RENDER_PHASE,
RESOURCE_PHASE
Used in: portlet-app
The portlet-collectionType is used to identify a subset
of portlets within a portlet application to which a
security constraint applies.
Used in: security-constraint
The event-definitionType is used to declare events the portlet can either
receive or emit.
The name must be unique and must be the one the
portlet is using in its code for referencing this event.
Used in: portlet-app
The event-definition-referenceType is used to reference events
declared with the event-definition element at application level.
Used in: portlet
The listenerType is used to declare listeners for this portlet application.
Used in: portlet-app
portal-managed indicates if a custom portlet mode
needs to be managed by the portal or not.
Per default all custom portlet modes are portal managed.
Valid values are:
- true for portal-managed
- false for not portal managed
Used in: custom-portlet-modes
Portlet modes. The specification pre-defines the following values
as valid portlet mode constants:
"edit", "help", "view".
Portlet mode names are not case sensitive.
Used in: custom-portlet-mode, supports
The portlet-name element contains the canonical name of the
portlet. Each portlet name is unique within the portlet
application.
Used in: portlet, filter-mapping
Portlet persistent preference store.
Used in: portlet
Persistent preference values that may be used for customization
and personalization by the portlet.
Used in: portlet-preferences
The class specified under preferences-validator implements
the PreferencesValidator interface to validate the
preferences settings.
Used in: portlet-preferences
read-only indicates that a setting cannot
be changed in any of the standard portlet modes
("view","edit" or "help").
Per default all preferences are modifiable.
Valid values are:
- true for read-only
- false for modifiable

The role-link element is a reference to a defined security role.
The role-link element must contain the name of one of the
security roles defined in the security-role elements.
Used in: security-role-ref
The security-constraintType is used to associate
intended security constraints with one or more portlets.
Used in: portlet-app
The security-role-ref element contains the declaration of a
security role reference in the code of the web application. The
declaration consists of an optional description, the security
role name used in the code, and an optional link to a security
role. If the security role is not specified, the Deployer must
choose an appropriate security role.
The value of the role name element must be the String used
as the parameter to the
EJBContext.isCallerInRole(String roleName) method
or the HttpServletRequest.isUserInRole(String role) method.
Used in: portlet
The public-render-parameters defines a render parameter that is allowed to be public
and thus be shared with other portlets.
The identifier must be used for referencing this public render parameter in the portlet code.
Used in: portlet-app
Locale specific short version of the static title.
Used in: portlet-info
Supports indicates the portlet modes a
portlet supports for a specific content type. All portlets must
support the view mode.

Indicated the locales the portlet supports.
Used in: portlet
Locale specific static title for this portlet.
Used in: portlet-info
The transport-guaranteeType specifies that
the communication between client and portlet should
be NONE, INTEGRAL, or CONFIDENTIAL.
NONE means that the portlet does not
require any transport guarantees. A value of
INTEGRAL means that the portlet requires that the
data sent between the client and portlet be sent in
such a way that it can't be changed in transit.
CONFIDENTIAL means that the portlet requires
that the data be transmitted in a fashion that
prevents other entities from observing the contents
of the transmission.
In most cases, the presence of the INTEGRAL or
CONFIDENTIAL flag will indicate that the use
of SSL is required.
Used in: user-data-constraint
User attribute defines a user specific attribute that the
portlet application needs. The portlet within this application
can access this attribute via the request parameter USER_INFO
map.
Used in: portlet-app
The user-data-constraintType is used to indicate how
data communicated between the client and portlet should be
protected.
Used in: security-constraint
The value element contains the value of a parameter.
Used in: init-param
Portlet window state. Window state names are not case sensitive.
Used in: custom-window-state
The description element is used to provide text describing the
parent element. The description element should include any
information that the portlet application war file producer wants
to provide to the consumer of the portlet application war file
(i.e., to the Deployer). Typically, the tools used by the
portlet application war file consumer will display the
description when processing the parent element that contains the
description. It has an optional attribute xml:lang to indicate
which language is used in the description according to
RFC 1766 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1766.txt). The default
value of this attribute is English(“en”).
Used in: init-param, portlet, portlet-app, security-role
The display-name type contains a short name that is intended
to be displayed by tools. It is used by display-name
elements. The display name need not be unique.
Example:
...
Employee Self Service
It has an optional attribute xml:lang to indicate
which language is used in the description according to
RFC 1766 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1766.txt). The default
value of this attribute is English(“en”).
The elements that use this type designate the name of a
Java class or interface.
The role-nameType designates the name of a security role.
The name must conform to the lexical rules for an NMTOKEN.
This is a special string datatype that is defined by JavaEE
as a base type for defining collapsed strings. When
schemas require trailing/leading space elimination as
well as collapsing the existing whitespace, this base
type may be used.
The logical name of the filter is declare
by using filter-nameType. This name is used to map the
filter. Each filter name is unique within the portlet
application.
