@Deprecated
public interface ICharacterChannel
extends IChannel

An optional channel interface that allows channels to provide their content in a character form (as opposed to XML form). Note: If a particular channel implements this optional interface, the portal will make use of it if and only if character caching portal setting is turned on. (it is not necessary for the channel to support caching, but character caching needs to be enabled for the portal)

Method Detail

renderCharacters

void renderCharacters(PrintWriter pw)
                      throws PortalException

Deprecated.

Asks the channel to render its content as characters. The method has the same call precedence as the IChannel.renderXML() method. (i.e. if the channel also supports ICacheable, portal will try to find a cache entry prior calling this method)

Parameters:

pw - a PrintWriter value into which the character output should be directed

Throws:

PortalException - if an error occurs
