Class WindowState

java.lang.Object
javax.portlet.WindowState
public class WindowState extends Object
The WindowState class represents the possible window states that a portlet window can assume.

This class defines a standard set of the most basic portlet window states. Additional window states may be defined by calling the constructor of this class. If a portal/portlet-container does not support a custom window state defined in the portlet application deployment descriptor, the custom window state will be ignored by the portal/portlet container.

    • NORMAL

      public static final WindowState NORMAL
      The NORMAL window state indicates that a portlet may be sharing the page with other portlets. It may also indicate that the target device has limited display capabilities. Therefore, a portlet should restrict the size of its rendered output in this window state.

      The string value for this state is "normal".

    • MAXIMIZED

      public static final WindowState MAXIMIZED
      The MAXIMIZED window state is an indication that a portlet may be the only portlet being rendered in the portal page, or that the portlet has more space compared to other portlets in the portal page. A portlet may generate richer content when its window state is MAXIMIZED.

      The string value for this state is "maximized".

    • MINIMIZED

      public static final WindowState MINIMIZED
      When a portlet is in MINIMIZED window state, the portlet should only render minimal output or no output at all.

      The string value for this state is "minimized".

    • _name

      private String _name

  • Constructor Details

    • WindowState

      Returns:
      String representation of this window state.

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()

      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      hash code value for this window state

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object object)
