Defining custom window states
Window states are indicators of the amount of portal page space needed for content generated by a portlet. The JSR 168 Portlet Specification defines three window states: NORMAL, MAXIMIZED and MINIMIZED. In addition to these, portal vendors can also define custom window states.
Table 1. Custom window states Property Name Description Custom Window States Defines the custom window states that are used in this portlet application in the <custom-window-state> element. Portlets can only use window states that are defined by the portal. If a custom window state defined in the deployment descriptor is not mapped to a custom window state provided by the portal, portlets must not be invoked in that window state. Refer to the WebSphere® Portal InfoCenter to determine which custom window states are supported by WebSphere Portal. Language Provides the language information used in the xml:lang attribute to localize the description. Description Defines the descriptive text about the custom window state in the <description> element.
