Portal Chaning the Window State

[Eric Dalquist <ed...@unicon.net>]

I just skimmed the spec on this but what is supposed to happen to render 
parameters if the portal changes a portlet's window state? In this case 
the portal renders a button above each portlet to change the window 
state. If the user has been navigating the portlet and there are a set 
of render parameters that have been set and then the user clicks on the 
change window state button. Should those render parameters be available 
in the new window state or should they be cleared as if the portlet hand 
rendered a URL with just the new window state set.

Look at PLT.11, paragraph 25:

Commonly, portals provide controls to change the portlet mode and the 
window state of
portlets. The URLs these controls use are generated by the portal. 
Client requests
triggered by those URLs must be treated as render URLs and the existing 
render
parameters must be preserved.liii

A portlet must not see any parameter targeted to other portlets.liv
