I have added support for portlet managed modes in the trunk of the portlet container. It is a feature that allow a portlet mode to be managed by the portlet and is equivalent for the portal a the PortletMode.VIEW mode. for instance the developer provides <custom-portlet-mode> | <description>Creates content for Cut and Paste</description> | <portlet-mode>clipboard</portlet-mode> | <portal-managed>false</portal-managed> | </custom-portlet-mode> What do you think of the inclusion of that in 2.7 ? I don't think it would be at least trivial to add support for that as we do have hardcoding for view/edit/admin/help in a few places (like portal css styling). More generally how could we support custom window states and modes ? any suggestion ? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4161022#...
