Use portlet settings to define property names and the corresponding
global variables to contain the property values that can be received
by this portlet. Access portlet settings from the Project settings
editor by clicking the Other tab then Portlet. For more information about how
to do this, see Portlet settings.
Once WebSphere® Portal
has received a property from a source portlet, the target portlet
is notified. The HATS JSR 168 portlet runtime service retrieves the
property value from WebSphere® Portal
and stores it in the specified global variable. Again, only global
variables that contain a string (or strings) can be used with JSR
168 communication.
