InterPortlet Communication: one to many portlet communicatio

[pshaktig]

Hi All,

My requirement is such that an action in one portlet should invoke some acctions to occur in all other portlets in the page(about 6-7 portlets in my page).

The article http://docs.jboss.org/jbportal/v2.2/reference-guide/en/html/ipc.html says that JBoss IPC enables one-to-one relationship between portlets.

My question is, is my requirement achievable? Is there any way by which I can change the behavior of all the portlets given an action in one of the portlet?

Please reply. Its very urgent.

Thanks,
Shakti

here is the base thing about ipc :

for what you want to do, I guess you'll have to manage something out of the JSR-168 ...

may be with IPC by message (like in the library proposed on this site), you can have what you want.
the only trouble is that the portlet will make the changes in the render phase.
(the action phase is always one and only one portlet involved).

hope this helps...
