side of the portlet window altogether.
21.2. Features
The CMSPortlet handles all requests for all content types.
The methodology of serving content within the CMSPortlet, allows for some beneficial features, like:
1.
Search-engine friendly URLs: http://domain/[portal]/content/company.html
2.
Serve binaries with simple urls independent of the portal: http://domain/content/products.pdf

Localization support: CMSPortlet will display content based on the user request locale, or display content using the default locale setting.

<content-type>cms</content-type>
<content-uri>/default/index.html</content-uri>
</content>
<region>center</region>
