> Hi All,

> I have a problem using the Forward service. Here is the situation:
>
> I have a set of portlets one of them has a detail link that uses
> <jetspeed:forward> to forward to a different page.psml and portlet. Once
> I am done with that portlet I would lile to go back to where I came from.
> So I declared another forward to the pane that I came from. The forward
> to a portlet works like a champ, but the forward back does not.
>
> Here is my forwards declaration:
>
> <forward name='highbill'>
> <page name='default.psml' role='csr'/>
> <pane id='P-f9a04b6fec-10001'/>
> </forward>
>
> <forward name='billnoticedetail'>
> <page name='billnoticedetail' role='csr'/>
> <portlet id='P-fa5ec14b8a-10001' action='controls.Maximize'/>
> </forward>
>
> What I think is happening is <jetspeed:pane> tag on the Home.jsp checks
> for the js_peid. js_peid is the id of the portlet on the
> "billnoticedetail" page i.e. <portlet id='P-fa5ec14b8a-10001'
> action='controls.Maximize'/>. This messes everything up as all I want is
> to go to a pane on the default page. The tag on the Home.jsp is this
> <jetspeed:pane name="default"/> and the code for the tag:
>
> if (data != null && data.getUser() != null)
> {
> JetspeedTool jt = new JetspeedTool(data);
> String jspeid = (String) data.getUser().getTemp("js_peid");
> if (jspeid != null)
> {
> data.setMode(JetspeedRunData.MAXIMIZE);
> result = jt.getPortletById(jspeid);
> }
> else
> {
> result = jt.getPane(this.name);
> }

> From this code it seems that I will never be able to hit the pane
> specified in the forward declaration no matter what I do. Has anyone had
> a similar issue? How did you resolve it?
