Hi,
Strangely enough I still cannot create a form that submits with a parameter
WindowState.MAXIMIZED. This is easy enough by creating an actionURL and putting
that in the action attribute of a normal HTML form tag, but I'm using an
ActionForm to populate and validate my form. In order to do so you need to
create your form and input tags with the struts HTML taglib (at least, that's
my understanding!), e.g.:
<html:form action="/an/action">
<html:input property="someProp" />
</html:form>
But now how do I get this form to submit to an action with
WindowState.MAXIMIZED? Or is wanting this a mistake of thought on my side -
does it go against a principal or best practice I should be respecting? I
cannot imagine that I'm the first to have this problem.
Of course I could extend the Struts taglib to support a windowstate attribute
in a html:form tag, like IBM does for example... but that seems quite some
overhead for such a simple need.
I must be missing something... Can anybody explain??
Thanks, Evert

Are you using the struts 1 portlet bridge?
(http://portals.apache.org/bridges/multiproject/portals-bridges-struts)
Haven't used it myself, but I'd be surprised if the framework didn't
support creating portlet urls. I have only used a WebSphere
Portal-proprietary extension which (from what I remember) created
portlet urls automatically.
