The simplest way to do this is to set the "EDIT" mode on the portlet url , that you use for the target of the form. So, if edit mode has a form to fill in certain settings, you need a portlet action url to be the target for the html form. on that portlet action url, simply have the portlet mode set to 'VIEW', then when th user submits the form, after the Action processing is done they will go to the VIEW mode for render.

It's also possible to "set" the portlet mode to view programatically in the action processing. There might be good reasons to do it either way. I just view doing it in the PortletURL as less code to write.

How do you handle sending the portlet back to view mode? Does this happen automatically, or are you manually setting the mode?

Thanks!

Here are some screenshots of one of our portlets. One in "view" mode and the other in "edit" mode. When you click "Save" or "Cancel" in edit mode it returns you to view mode.
