Transitions from pages

The following code samples show examples of the various transitions that you can configure with the page as the source.

Single page to single portlet

The following code sample shows a transition where the source points to a single page and the target points to single portlet.

When any portlet on the referenced page page1 emits the event e1, the user is routed to the target portlet portlet2, which is fed with event e2.

Code sample

<transition>
    <source>
        <transition-endpoint nameref="page1">
            <event qname="e1"/>
         </transition-endpoint>
     </source>
     <target>
         <transition-endpoint nameref="portlet2">
              <event qname="e2"/>
          </transition-endpoint>
      </target>
</transition>

Multiple pages to single portlet

The following code sample shows a transition where the source points to multiple pages and the target points to a single portlet.

When any portlet on any of the referenced pages, page1a or page1b, emits the event e1, the user is routed to the target portlet portlet2. The target portlet portlet2 is then fed with event e2.

Note: For sources, it is not possible to alternatively reference multiple transition endpoints.

Code sample

<transition>
   <source>
       <transition-endpoint nameref="page1a_1b">
            <event qname="e1"/>
       </transition-endpoint>
    </source>
    <target>
        <transition-endpoint nameref="portlet2">
            <event qname="e2"/>
         </transition-endpoint>
     </target>
</transition>

Page hierarchy to single portlet

The following code sample shows a transition where the source points to a page hierarchy and the target points to single portlet.

When any portlet on any page part of the referenced hierarchy emits the event e1, the user is routed to the target portlet portlet2. The target portlet portlet2 is then fed with event e2.

Code sample

<transition>
   <source>
       <transition-endpoint nameref="pageHierarchy1">
            <event qname="e1"/>
       </transition-endpoint>
    </source>
    <target>
        <transition-endpoint nameref="portlet2">
            <event qname="e2"/>
         </transition-endpoint>
     </target>
</transition>
