[jira] Commented: (JS2-452) unable to add a custom mode to the portlet.
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-452?page=comments#action_12361148 ]
Randy Watler commented on JS2-452:
----------------------------------
I am sure this will come up again for other people trying to port existing JSR-168 portlets. Different portal implementors have come up with custom modes as a way to provide useful idioms and to create some degree of product lock in.
After talking with DST, it seems that we might want to provide a way for users to define their own custom modes via some configuration options rather than simply adding modes that match every legacy portal solution we run across.

> Key: JS2-452
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-452
> Project: Jetspeed 2
> Type: Bug
> Components: Decorations/Themes
> Versions: 2.0-FINAL
> Environment: Windows XP Professional, Intel pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz, 2 GB of RAM
> Reporter: sunil kumar tiwari
> Priority: Blocker

> I have started working on Apache Jetspeed2 portal recently. My goal is to move JSR 168 portlets which were devloped using IBM RAD6 to Jetspeed2 portal.
> Many of these portlets have an additional custom mode for admin purpose. I am not able to add this custom mode on Jetspeed2.
> I have signed up for the jetspeed user-mailing list and I came to know that adding custom mode is not supported at present. It will require code changes to implement. I am not pretty sure about it though.
> If this is indeed the case, then I would like to raise it here so that it can be fixed as early as possible. Its very important as many portlets do need a custom mode (like config) for administrative purpose. It should allow a person with admin rights to configure some values that will be visible to all the users.
