Yes, I see that in JSR-168 section PLT 9.4 it says "If a custom window
state defined in the deployment descriptor is not mapped to a custom
window state provided by the portal, portlets must not be invoked in
that window state." and you are right.
But I want to do this anyway, couldn't there be any workaround for this?

Hi Serkan
I don't think JSR168 allows you to do this.
Sounds like a reasonable idea, but Jetspeed is probably just following
the rules - which in this case look rather restrictive.

Subject: Trying to define a custom window state
Hi all,
I'm trying to use a new window state in order to change the layout of
my portlets. My aim is to declare a custom window state (I named it
local-max) which will indicate that the portlet with this window
state will occupy all the space of its immediate parent layout
portlet. For example, assume that I have 4 portlets in a two-column
layout (2x2). When I switch one of these portlets to the local-max
state, this portlet will be displayed in a single column (at full
width) within this layout fragment, everything else being the same on
the page. When I switch back to the normal state, then the layout
will be as it was before.
However, I'm having difficulties trying to achieve this. My plan was
to declare this custom window state in my portlet.xml (and
jetspeed-portlet.xml) and then modify the default layout.vm to take
care of this window state. But Jetspeed does not allow me to use a
custom window state unless I map it to an extended window state
(which is only the "solo" state currently). But the solo state has
its own rendering mechanism, so I do not want to map my state to
solo. Actually I would like to map it to the "normal" window state,
but Jetspeed does not allow this.
Is there a better way of doing this?
I thought of approaching the problem similar to the approach used in
the issue JS2-710 (Dynamically hide portlets at request time),
however I'm using Wicket and I don't know how to set a RenderRequest
attribute with Wicket. Can anybody tell me how to do this?
I've also thought of extending the layout portlets, but it's not
useful unless I can change the window state or set a RenderRequest
attribute.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
