portlet window statesearch for term

A setting that indicates the amount of portal page real estate to be allocated for the content generated by a portlet. The portlet container sends the current window state to each portlet it invokes; the portlet then determines how much information to render. Portlets can programmatically change their window states when processing action requests. The portlet specification (JSR 168) defines three standard window states:

  • Normal
  • Maximized
  • Minimized

You can also specify custom window states that are supported by the portal.
