[xwiki-devs] How can I dynamically create a panel?

[Glenn Everitt]

I'm trying to dynamically create a panel to navigate to a newly created
space.  Then I want to put the panel in the left column of Main.WebHome.

This code is how I thought it would work but it doesn't seem like you put
Panel objects in Panels.WebHome and I haven't been able to figure out where
they should be put.  If anyone knows I would appreciate knowing
    	XWikiDocument panelsDoc =
context.getWiki().getDocument("Panels.WebHome", context);  
    	BaseObject bobj = panelsDoc.newObject("Panels.PanelClass", context);

    	//create a panel
    	String panelName = spaceName+"Pnl";
    	bobj.setStringValue("name", panelName);    	
    	bobj.setStringValue("type", "view");
    	bobj.setStringValue("description", "Dynamic Panel for " + spaceName);

            //the content of the panel - Note all quotes are escaped
    	bobj.setStringValue("category", "Navigation");
		String content = "#panelheader('" + spaceName + "Links')" +
		                 " * [Home>" + spaceName + ".WebHome]" +
                                          " <p
style=\"font-size:0.75em;padding-left:8px;\">
\"$xwiki.getDocument(\"Panels." (Edit this panel) </p>" +
                                         " #panelfooter()";
		bobj.setStringValue("context", content);
        context.getWiki().saveDocument(panelsDoc,
context.getMessageTool().get("core.comment.createdUser"), context);

        //add to left panel list
    	XWikiDocument prefsDoc =
context.getWiki().getDocument("XWiki.XWikiPreferences", context);
    	BaseObject prefsObj = prefsDoc.getObject("XWiki.XWikiPreferences");
    	String csvLeftPanelList = prefsObj.getStringValue("leftPanels");
    	csvLeftPanelList = csvLeftPanelList + ",Panels."+panelName;
    	prefsObj.setStringValue("leftPanel", csvLeftPanelList);
        context.getWiki().saveDocument(prefsDoc,
context.getMessageTool().get("core.comment.createdUser"), context);

So, as I mentioned not sure where or how to add the created Panel any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks
