Re: $renderRequest.createActionURL() and portlet communication

[Mansour Al Akeel]

Thank you Woosan. I will look at the code and see where do I get from 
there. I need to do this in velocity in the theme so I think I have to 
dig a little bit more.

Hi Mansour,

I think PortletMessaging can help a little bit for the cases.
PortletMessaging provides inter-portlet communication.
For example, role browser and role details portlet communicate each other by 
PortletMessaging.
If a user clicks an item in role browser, then both portlet change their views 
by pulishing/consuming messages.

Woonsan, thank you for the explanation.
What I am trying to do is to post to a different portlet.
So how can I 
get the encoded url for that portlet in velocity.
Let's say I have portlet-1 and one of the functionality
that it provides 
is availabe in portlet-2, and I want to post to portlet-2.
How can I do 
this?
Another senario is an action that is avialable on all the
pages, and the 
functionality is available in one of my portlets. I know I
can use 
renderPortlet in velocity inside the decorator, but I need
to do it this 
way. Do you have an advice ?


Thank you.

Hi Mansour,

I'm not sure I understand your problems, but I can
      
say the createActionURL() makes an encoded url string which
enables to choose the proper portlet to process the form
submission.
    
When a form of a portlet in portal page is submitted,
      
there should be two phases to process: action phase and
render phase.
    
The portal can choose a portlet for the action phase
      
from the encoded url.
    
You can refer to PLT.5.2.4 and PLT.7 for more
      
information.
    
Also, you can check the details and internals from the
      
book: http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/developers.html.
    
Regards,

Woonsan

I am trying to post a from to one of the portlets
        
I have on
    
the page. I 
am using $renderRequest.createActionURL()  as the
        
action.
    
However it's 
not giving me the correct URL. In fact I don't
        
feel I
    
understand this 
correctly. All I know is that createActionURL
        
returns the
    
link where the 
portlet is expecting its data at. But how it works
        
? and
    
what do I use 
to get the action url for a specific portlet ?

Thank you in advance.
