Persisting portlet state between logins has never been implemented in uPortal. Portlet state/mode data is different than channel attribute parameters and because of this mismatch the parameter persistence functionality in uPortal doesn't provide a solution to this.

Hi,

I'm having problems getting the window state of JSR-168 portlets to persist. If I click the minimize button on the portlet the portlet is minimized, however logging out of uPortal and logging back in shows the portlet as unminimized.

In the case of minimizing, you might be able to get away with it if you were willing to assume some constraints.

http://osdir.com/ml/java.jasig.uportal/2006-07/msg00031.html has some notes on getting the minimized attribute to stick. If you wanted to edit the theme transform to not display any content for portlets (I think there's an isPortlet attribute) then you could probably get uPortal to minimize the chrome, and hide the content. You'd probably still incur the cost of the render cycle however, but if that wasn't to high it might be viable.

Other functionality is more problematic. I'm going to cc: this conversation onto up-dev -- Eric -- what do you think about having portlets expose more info about their state into the XML and driving the state of controls off off that info?
