JBoss Portlet Container 2.0 (JSR-268) support for custom por

[jan.vissers]

Hi,

Does JBoss PTL Container 2.0 support custom portlet mode? I want to implement a 'edit defaults' mode and tried to add this in the portlet.xml. However no visual control shows up in the portal.

I've used @RenderMode(name = "edit_defaults") on a specific GenericPortlet overriding class method to perform the functionality.

Is there no control shown, due to the fact that PTL Container 2.0 doesn't support security?

Usually new modes are either mode managed by the portal or by the portlet itself. The portlet mode you are referencing is a pure portal mode, which consist in having the portal sending the instance shared preferences to the portlet associated with the READ_WRITE access mode.

The simple portal that makes the JBoss Portlet Container does not support additional modes because it is out of scope of the product.

JBoss Portal 2.6 (and therefore 2.7) support this feature already, when the portlet is invoked with EDIT_DEFAULTS, the shared instances preferences are provided wit the READ_WRITE access mode.

Thanks for the speedy reply. Does the JBoss Portal versions you mention support JSR-286. This is probably in the docs - I know - but my guess is you now it by heart ;-)

Portal 2.7 will. Portal 2.6 doesn't/won't.

portal 2.7 branch is now integrated with the JBPC 2.0 but should be considered as experimental ;-)

I'll give an update of this work via our developer blog tomorrow.

Portal 2.7 will. Portal 2.6 doesn't/won't.
