Avoiding portlet reset when maximising portlet window

[Adi Bart, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

Hey,

I have come across some questions on this issue but no solution. I have added an interview portlet in Liferay. If data is collected and then the window is maximised, the view resets and the interview is restarted. That data that has been entered is lost.

How can I avoid this behaviour?

I have tried setting restore-current-view to both false and true but there is no difference in the behaviour.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers!

I'm really advocating Vaadin (http://www.vaadin.com) as they have a great platform, leverage GWT, and all development is in Java (no more javascript!).
