Minimize doesn't work when i add a custom portlet mode

[Terry lee <Sp...@sqatester.com>]

Hi all,

  After i deploy the portlet in below, the minimize(window state) doesn't work , why??

---------------------------
...

	public void render(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response) 
	throws PortletException, IOException{
		doDispatcher(request,response);
	} 
	  
	public void doDispatcher(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response)
		throws PortletException, IOException{
		if(request.getPortletMode().equals(PortletMode.VIEW)){
			doView(request,response);
		}else if(request.getPortletMode().equals(PortletMode.EDIT)){
			doEdit(request,response);
		}else if(request.getPortletMode().equals(new PortletMode("CONFIG"))){
			doConfig(request,response);
		}
	}
	
	public void doConfig(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response)
	  throws PortletException, IOException
	{
	  response.setContentType("text/html");

	  String jspName = getPortletConfig().getInitParameter("all");

	  PortletRequestDispatcher rd =
		getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher(jspName);

	  rd.include(request, response);
	}

...

---------------------------

thanks in advance!

Terry

that is because the generic portlet does the following in doDispatch 
before dispatching:

     if ( ! state.equals(WindowState.MINIMIZED)) {
       PortletMode mode = request.getPortletMode();


this line is missing in your code which means your portlets doXYZ 
methods will also be called in minimized (which me be of use for some 
portlets) and in the doXZY methods you do not check for the window state.
