Notes
An overloaded API is one that has more than one function or procedure of the same name, but with differing numbers and/or types of parameters. A portlet instance is the display of a portlet on a single page. The same portlet may be displayed multiple times on the same page. Each time a portlet is added to a page, Oracle Portal generates a unique portlet instance ID that is the instance's reference path.
