The org.zkoss.zk.ui.sys.SEORenderer interface

Listener:

org.zkoss.zk.ui.sys.SEORenderer

A listener could implement SEORenderer to generate application-specific SEO content. The SEO content could be anything. It is visible to the search engine (for indexing), but it is not visible to the end users

Notice that the class must implement SEORenderer. SEORenderer.render(Page, Writer) will be invoked each time the main page of a desktop has been rendered and sent to the client.

For example, assume you have an implementation called foo.MySEORenderer, then

<!-- in WEB-INF/zk.xml -->
<preference>
    <name>org.zkoss.zk.ui.sys.SEORenderer.class</name>
    <value>foo.MySEORenderer</value>
</preference>

You could generate anything that you'd like the search engine to index in SEORenderer.render(Page, Writer):

package foo;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.sys.SEORenderer;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.Page;
public class MySEORenderer implements SEORenderer {
    public void render(Page page, java.io.Writer out)
    throws java.io.IOException {
        out.write("<a href=\"whatever\">whatever</a>");
    }
}

Notice that, if specified, this class will be instantiated and invoked even if the crawlable option is not enabled.
