| Hello Weichun,
a page consists of rows and column containers. But there is also a
container which is holding the portlet instance. This container is
called control. The control is necessary because you can define a skin
for each portlet on a page. So, the skin information is combined with
the control which is holding the portlet. In a tree view it would be
like this:
row
|
+-----+-------+
| |
colum column
| |
+---+---+ +--+---+
| | | |
control control control control
| | | |
portlet portlet portlet portlet
This is a page containing two column and in each of the column are two
portlets.
Each control like every object in Portal gets a unique id. However, to
be able to transfer configuration between several portal installation
and also in reason of human readability you can assign a unique name to
each object. That means you can also define a unique name for a control.
Hope that helps.
