Hi Michael,
I don't know if I get your problem properly...
Supposed two portlets (portletA and portletB)...
what you want to achieve is to call portletB's processAction from
portletA, right?
I think you can create an action URL in *portletB* (with the method
"createActionURL" in the "RenderResponse" object). Set the parameters
you want for this portlet when it'd be invoked (portlet mode and window
state):
PortletURL portletB_URL = response.createActionURL();
portletB_URL.setPortletMode(PortletMode.EDIT);
portletB_URL.setWindowState(WindowState.NORMAL);
...
and then propagate the actionURL object created to all the portlets in
the application as an attribute session (with APPLICATION_SCOPE):
request.getPortletSession().setAttribute("portletB_URL",
portletB_URL, PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE);
Once you have done this, you can retrieve the portletB_URL object from
*portletA*:
PortletURL portletB_URL = (PortletURL)
request.getPortletSession().getAttribute("portletB_URL",
PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE);
so you can use it as target for a link or a form:
<FORM ACTION=\""+portletB_URL.toString()+"\" METHOD=\"post\">
I've never checked this code but I think it might work... =D
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Enrique

I have two portlets. One shows a list of items, lets say Widgets, and
when you click on a Widget in the list it shows the details of that
Widget in the second portlet.
The second portlet has an Edit button that allows you to edit the
Widget being displayed.
What I have now is an Add Widget button on the second portlet but to
me, that is not where it belongs. It belongs in the first portlet
that shows the list of Widgets.
I want an "Add Widget" button in the first portlet that when clicked,
causes the second portlet to go into edit mode to edit the new Widget.
I can't figure out how to get that done. I thought I could redirect
or forward from the doEdit() method of the second portlet to an
actionURL for the second portlet if there was a certain value in the
PortletSession but I don't see a way of redirecting/forwarding/causing
an Action request to be sent to the second portlet.
