Take a look at http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~mo197/portlets/portlet_messaging/
Just used this myself to set the source of an iFrame in one portlet from
the struts action within another ortlet.
Hope that helps

Thanks for the response. Well the difference here is that I have the
same portlet showing up for create/update/delete. So the distinction
is done in the portlet.xml (Snippet is as below). So a menu link is
associated with that page with specific parameters. The menu is
rendered within the Jetspeed scope but the link is to a JSR168
portlet which is an external webapp. Unless I do something like when
the link is clicked I somehow pass the attribute along as to what was
clicked...then based on that the jsp can show up in the relevant
mode. WELL THE BIG QUESTION IS WHERE CAN I SET THIS ATTRIBUTE? What
you said is more in the JSR168 session context Right? Do let me know
if there is any additional information that is needed? And thanks
once again for the response.
As far as I understand, the only problem is passing some attribute
between different web aplications (within the same container), right?
I don't know much about other servlet containers, but with Tomcat you
could set the "crossContext" attribute for either application context
to "true" and then setup the parameter (identified e.g. by the HTTP
session id) in the other servlet context (another webapp), like this:
//your application context:
<HTTPServlet>.getServletContext().getContext(<String:other app context
name>).setAttribute(<String>, <Object>);
//other application context
<HTTPServlet>.getServletContext().getAttribute(<String>);
The above code can be applied from within a servlet, you should modify
it to execute from a portlet, i.e. get a servlet context from a
portlet context. I am not sure if a PortletContext object could by
fully functional as a ServletContext object, however if such a
solution fails, use an intermediate redirection servlet for setting
the other context attributes.
I do hope that it's what you meant.
