Hi,
  Thanks for this information, I had to update from Jetspeed 1.4b3 to
1.4 to get forwards.

My problem now is that I cant get forwards to work, I have tried
numerous approaches and none have worked so far.

I have a portlet that I need to have a link in to another portlet. As we
use JSP's I have put the following code in the jsp.

<a href="<jetspeed:forward name='rabbit'/>">Jump like a rabbit....</a>

And this in my forwards.xml

    <forward name='rabbit'>
        <portlet name='SurfPortlet1' action='controls.Restore'/>
    </forward>    


The portlet SurfPortlet1 is defined in portlets.xreg as ....  ( NOTE:
some values changed to protect confidential info )

  <portlet-entry name="SurfPortlet1" hidden="false" type="ref"
parent="WebBrowserPortlet" application="false">
    <meta-info>
      <title>Rabbit WebSite</title>
      <description>Rabbit Website</description>
    </meta-info>
    <parameter name="proxy" value="$CONTEXT/browser" hidden="false"
cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true" />
    <parameter name="portletid" value="rabbithome1" hidden="true" />
    <parameter name="new_url"
value="http://www.rabbit.det.nsw.edu.au/main/index.cgi"; hidden="false"
/>
    <parameter name="dont_remove_applet" value="yes" hidden="true"
cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true" />
    <parameter name="dont_remove_script" value="yes" hidden="true"
cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true" />
    <parameter name="dont_remove_noscript" value="yes" hidden="true"
cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true" />
    <parameter name="dont_remove_head" value="yes" hidden="true"
cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true" />
    <parameter name="dont_remove_style" value="yes" hidden="true"
cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true" />
    <parameter name="dont_remove_meta" value="yes" hidden="true"
cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true" />
    <parameter name="dont_remove_object" value="yes" hidden="true"
cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true" />
    <parameter name="dont_remove_onsomething" value="yes" hidden="true"
cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true" />
    <url
cachedOnURL="true">http://www.rabbit.det.nsw.edu.au/main/index.cgi</url>
    <category group="Jetspeed">ndi-website</category>
    <category group="Jetspeed">DET</category>
  </portlet-entry>



The result of the jsp tag is that I get a link in my page like this.....

http://10.10.10.9:8080/ndi/portal/media-type/html/page/default.psml/port
let/SurfPortlet1?action=controls.Restore

This is OK but when I click this link, all I get is the same page back.

What am I missing?

Hi Ian,

If I understand you questions correctly, it seems that you solution
could be found in forwards.  I forward can be specified that will take
you to a specific pane.

There is more information on forwarders here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/site/forwards.html

If you need some examples, let me know and I can probably get you a
couple.

Subject: Inter portlet jumping....


Hi,
  We currently use jetspeed to host our departmental application
deployment and so far have managed to perform what we need to do,
unfortunately we have a user requirement that is problematic. 
 We need to do inter portlet jumps. While I can achieve this it does not
happen the way that is being requested by the user. 
 The only successful inter portlet jump we can do is with the
action=controls.Maximise. This results in the portlet being maximised
and all other portlets become hidden. 
 The user does not want this to happen, they want the portlet to appear
within whatever tab/menu combination that it exists.  I have taken the
URL generated by the jsp tag and removed the action= part and requested
this. I have found that this only works if I am already at the tab/menu
that contains the portlet.

Is there any way to do this or do I need to modify more of the code to
achieve this ?
