How to call another portlet from within a portlet

Hello. I'm new to Jetspeed. And I would like to know if it's possible to call or display another portlet from within a portlet? In other words, I would like to click on a link from a portlet, and then display another portlet window that is maximized. How do I do that?  

Thank you in advance for any hints.

ANother approach could be something like this:

 /page/anotherPage?action=controls.Maximize&portlet=myPortlet

where you define a single-portlet PSML file in:

  user
    |
    |--yourUser
         |
         |-html
             anotherPage.psml

or you could do likewise with groups and roles, but the security is still
being worked out at this time

or simply define a page specifically for that single portlet, then you dont
need the maximize param

David,
Thank you for your reply. I have to add....that "myPortlet" in <a
href="portal?action=controls.Maximize&portlet=myPortlet" **must** exist in
some pane/tab -- otherwise, I couldn't call it and display it. This means
that I need to add all the portlets the user may call in some pane and
somehow make that pane/tab hidden from the user. I wonder if there is a more
direct way to call a portlet via url?

RE: How to call another portlet from within a portlet

Posted by Mark Orciuch <ma...@ngsltd.com>.
I think I understand now.  So the following Maximize.jsp would be equivalent
to Maximize.vm, right?

============================================================================
=
<%@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/templates/jsp/tld/template.tld' prefix='jetspeed'
%>

<%@ page import = "org.apache.jetspeed.services.PortletFactory" %>
<%@ page import = "org.apache.jetspeed.services.rundata.JetspeedRunData" %>

<%
JetspeedRunData rundata = (JetspeedRunData)request.getAttribute("rundata");
rundata.setMode("maximize");
%>
<jetspeed:portlet/>
============================================================================
=

Yes, and other features (like customization) dont work either.
JSP hasn't quite caught up to Velocity yet (Im talking about the Jetspeed
templating implementations, not trying to start up yet another JSP v
Velocity dialog)

This doesn't keep you from using JSPs in portlets, just from using JSP as
your primary portal template (that builds the controllers, controls,
portlets).

So you could try using a special page just for displaying one portlet:

 http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portal/page/displayMyPortlet

(create a new PSML page just for displaying your one portlet)

The problem with using specific pages though, is that they are not yet
secure.
Hope to have a fix for that in a3

David,

That does not work if:

services.TemplateService.default.extension=jsp

Is there a workaround?
