I have a portlet with different modes. Form the default page (mode), there are links to the various modes. The default page is accessed through a navigation link. It works fine for all the modes. But when I refresh the page from the explorer, the default page shows up regardless of which mode I am in currently. But I want it to stay on the current mode and refresh that page only, while it goes back to the default page. This is because I have killed the session after it sets the template page. But if I dont kill the session, the Navigation link when clicked will link to the current mode, while it should go to the default page. Basically, I want the navigation link to bring the page back to default page, while I want the explorer REFRESH to refresh the current template mode only. My code looks like this. Has anyone ever faced situation like this. It's kinda tricky. How can I modify the doView to solve the problem? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated: ************************************************************ protected void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response) { String template = TEMPLATE_HOME; String mode1= (String) session.getAttribute(MODE1, PortletSession.PORTLET_SCOPE); if(mode1 != null && mode1.equalsIgnoreCase(PAGE1)) { template = TEMPLATE_PAGE1; session.removeAttribute(MODE1); } setTemplate(request, response, template); } public void processAction(ActionRequest request, ActionResponse { String mode1 = request.getParameter(MODE1); if(mode1 != null && mode1.equalsIgnoreCase(MODE1)) { request.getPortletSession().setAttribute(MODE1, PAGE1, PortletSession.PORTLET_SCOPE); } } ************************************************************* Thanks Sudarshan View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4022736#...
