Inter-Portlet Linking

[Kevin Chan, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

Hey all,

Here's the situation: I have two Birt report portlets, one is a report on a region and the other's on a country. The region report will have a table that shows information on the different countries in the region. I was wondering if it would be possible to make url links on the table redirect to the country portlet, which would then open with information on the appropriate country.

tldr: how do you create links from one portlet that will open a second with parameters?

I am not using the ext sdk and it would be nice if I didn't have to.

Thank you!

This can be achieved easily using public render parameter feature of JSR 286 portlet.
You can find lot of articles for JSR 286 by googling it.

See http://portlet-container.dev.java.net for example portlets.

Hi ,
You can achieve ur task by simply creating url for other portlet. like this:

<liferay-portlet:actionURL windowState="<%= window_state_u_want %>" portletName="ur_portlet_name">
<portlet:param name="struts_action" value="ur_action_path_for_other_portlet" />
</liferay-portlet:actionURL>"

hope this helps.

Well I followed the instructions on http://wiki.eclipse.org/Portlet_Example_(BIRT)_2.1 but instead of the ServletContext, I just replaced it with the PortletContext and it worked. If you any more questions, feel free to pm or email me

@Manish Kumar Gupta & kamalkant rajput : thank you for your help, I got a workaround that I'm using right now but if that fails, I'll be looking to those instructions, ty
