1. If I wanted my portlets to be transparent to the client, e.g. no frames, no edit, help, minimize and maximize buttons, how would I do that? Does PSML (or maybe the lack of it) provide that functionality?
Answer. - We can easily get rid of the edit and help button by controlling the permissions. But if you want to remove the minimize, maximize and the entire title bar, the only way I know of is to write your own portlet decorator. We can write it in velocity or JSP. Jetspeed distribution has samples of velocity portlet decorators.
2. what is the mechanism by which the portal container does
initial rendering of its targetted portlets when your portal page
first starts up? Does the container call the "render" methods
of the contained portlets after initialization? I don't think the
JSR 168 spec addresses this. I could hunt around for a while and
figure this out, but if someone could point me to the right place it would be a big time saver.
Answer. - As far as I know, the RenderRequest is called everytime a portlet is rendered. Meaning, if there are 5 portlets in a psml and the page is refreshed 3 times, each time, the render method of each of the 5 portlets will be called by the portlet container.
Hope that helps, Amit
