Code repositoryThe Content Types
The External Page type makes an ajax call to include any content from a, probably external to plone, path. The external page content type is accomplished by making an ajax call to a configured path with jQuery. Keep in mind that JavaScript security applies, meaning that you cannot make a call to an external host--only an external path.
The GWT Page content type allows you to specify a path to a GWT javascript file, and includes that as the content for the page.
The IFrame Page allows you to include content that is external to a plone site, e.g., content that resides on a different host and possibly a different server. Links and form submissions should work as expected.
Caveats
External Content is not indexed, hence contents of a external content will not be reflected in a site search. In general, you will likely run into other issues with external content regarding how well it integrates into your Plone site.
