Re: Portlet Forwarding

[Sloan Bowman]

Have you tried using the setTemplate method to change the template. I  
use this in almost all of my Velocity template based portlets. Let me  
know if you need an example.

Hello,

I have a portlet that is used to do some data entry...
When the user has successfully entered data (passes validation)
I would like to replace the contents of the current portlet with
a portlet indicating success... (preserving the other tabs,etc.)
I have deployed the "Success" velocity template as a portlet in the
registry (name= "AddInfoSuccess").
I have tried setting up the forward service to forward after successful
data entry, but it does not work...it requires the portlet id... I only
know the portlet name...
portlets.xreg

<portlet-entry name="AddInfoSuccess" hidden="false" type="ref"
parent="Velocity" application="false">
                <meta-info>
                        <title>Successfully added Information</title>
                        <description>Add Information Success
Message</description>
                </meta-info>
                <parameter name="template" value="add-info-success"
hidden="true"/>
                <media-type ref="html"/>
        </portlet-entry>
forwards.xml:
<forward name='AddInfoSuccess'>
        <page name='default'/>
        <portlet id='myPortlet' action='controls.Maximize'/>
    </forward>
<portlet-forward portlet='AddInfoForward' forward='AddSInfoSuccess'
target='Success'/>
Java Code in Action:

ForwardService fs =
(ForwardService)ServiceUtil.getServiceByName(ForwardService.SERVICE_NAM 
E
);
			
fs.forward(data, "AddInfoForward","Success");

Any ideas?

Thanks

Amin
