How to set the Portlet for a window programmaticly

[johnnythehun]

I am using Portal 2.7.0 RC1.

I have created a window via Page.createWindow(),

But I am unable to find a method to set the Portlet Instance to the window. In another Thread I read there is a Window.setInstanceRef(String ref), but there is no such method any more.

Could you help me on:

1. How to set a Window's portlet instance?

(I would be grateful for some hints on the following topics too:
2. How to get available Portlet list
3. How to create a Portlet Instance)

Thank you,

John

To create a window in a page use :
Page.createWindow("window name", ContentType.PORTLET, "instance ID")

To get the available portlet list you can do something like that :
get the FederatingPortletInvoker through the MBeanServer or the injection and do :

Set<FederatedPortlet> portlets = new HashSet<FederatedPortlet>();
for (Iterator<FederatedPortletInvoker> iterator = federatingInvoker.getFederatedInvokers().iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
 FederatedPortletInvoker federated = iterator.next();
 portlets.addAll(federated.getPortlets());
}

To create a portlet instance you could use InstanceContainer.createDefinition("new instance id", "existing portlet context id", true).

Thanks, I am now able to get Portlet instances.

After a few lines I have stumbled into the following question:

How do I put a Window into a region programmaticly?
I have added a Window to the page, but how can I specify the region where the window should be rendered?

To others:
To get FederatingPortletInvoker call:

FederatingPortletInvoker fedPortletInvoker = (FederatingPortletInvoker) MBeanProxy.get(FederatingPortletInvoker.class, new ObjectName("portal:service=PortletInvoker,type=Federating"), mbeanServer);

Thanks,

To put a Window in a region use :

window.setDeclaredProperty(ThemeConstants.PORTAL_PROP_REGION, "YOUR_REGION_NAME");
