I'm using the GenericVelocityPortlet and I want to change the velocity template in the processAction method. Since the processAction in the GenericServletPortlet is not complete (see @task in the code), I'm just wondering what should be the best way to select another template when processing some actions.
This problem should be the same for other portlet types (jsp, jsf, ...).
The base class, GenericServletPortlet checks for the view page as a request attribute:
String reqViewPage = (String) request.getAttribute(PARAM_VIEW_PAGE);
Which doesn't do you any good since attributes are not passed from action to render phase.
We could propose changing the GenericServletPortlet to look at a render parameter, and then in your action you would call setRenderParameter.
Also take a look at the GenericFrameworkPortlet which nicely abstracts the concept of multiple views per portlet.
