2. Samantha inherits a portlet from a coworker that should be using partial page refresh within tab panes. The entire portlet (but not the portal page) seems to be refreshed on each action within the portal page. Which of the following causes could trigger such behavior?

A) The portlet needs to have a Global AJAX Enablement builder added to enable the correct behavior.
B) IBM Web Experience Factory Smart Refresh has been disabled using a Theme builder.
C) The outer page that contains the tabs has a <form> tag wrapping the tab panes, so the forms within the tab panes are stripped out by Web Experience Factory to avoid invalid HTML and thus the outer page's form is submitted and the outer page refreshed, for each action.
D) The portal page on which the portlet is placed was set to server-side aggregation and should be switched to client-side aggregation.

5. Phil needs to use a set of resource bundles to localize the portlets that he is building. What steps can he use to accomplish this task?

A) Phil can use the Imported Resource builder and the Simple Locale Profile Selection Handler to select and import the correct bundle. Then use Data Page, View and Form, and the other UI builders to construct the localized UI with strings from the imported bundle.
B) Place the bundles into the project and use the Imported Page builder and it's localization inputs to automatically apply the correct resource bundle to the page imported into the portlet.
C) Place the bundles into the project ensuring that the bundles include the appropriate language and country codes. Then use a Localized Resource builder to import the proper bundle according to the locale determined for the user of the portlet.
D) Use the Data Services builder to generate a service that selects the appropriate bundle based upon the locale of the request and returns it as an XML structure that can be fed directly into the Data Page or View and Form builders.
