ActionRequest
As previously mentioned in the discussion of portlet request handling, action requests handle changing
the state of a portlet based on the action request parameters. This is done using the
processAction
method, which takes an ActionRequest and ActionResponse object as parameters.
The
ActionRequest object, similar to a ServletRequest object, provides the following:
❑ The action request parameters
❑ The portlet mode
1. Action
2. Render
