Maximized Views in XSL/Velocity Portlets?

[Ol...@lakeviewtech.com]

I am writing an XSL document to transform an existing XML document to 
XHTML, but I cannot find a way to specify a different "view" when the 
portlet is maximized.  For example, in normal mode, I only want the 
portlet to show summary information.  When maximized, I want to show much 
more detailed info (i.e. point to a different XSL document for the 
transformation.)  Is there a simple way to do this (ideally without 
writing any code?)  I have looked around for the answer to this, but 
haven't found anything.  I know I could write a new XSL ViewProcessor 
which may also take a "maximized" init parameter - and point to a 
different XSL document, but I am trying to avoid writing code if this 
logic has already been done somewhere.

While I'm at it, I have the same question for Velocity-based portlets.  Is 
there an easy way to specify a different view of a maximized portlet here 
(i.e. a "maximized" template which shows much more detailed information 
than the "normal" template?)

BTW, I am using the binary distribution of Jetspeed 1.5.

Thanks in advance,

Eric Olson

Not supported, have to write code, something like

if (jetspeedRunData.getMode() == JetspeedRunData.MAXIMIZE)
{
	// use the maximized transform for this media type
}

I think its a great enhancement.
The support for templates/transforms is based on media type only.
The portlet mode could be used to find the template
Please create an issue in JIRA.
