If I have a link to a portlet action that also changes the view mode, then
the view mode will be changed before the handleRequest method is called.
This means the handleRequest won't be called on the controller I would
expect.
EG:
I have two PortletController's - one for edit mode and one for view mode. In
the JSP for the edit mode I have a link to:
<portlet:actionURL portletMode="view" />
When I execute that link, I was expecting the handleRequest method in my
edit portlet controller to be called (since I'm in edit mode and I'm
executing an action).
What happens is that the mode change is processed first (ie, the portlet
changes to view mode) and then the handleRequest method in my view portlet
controller is executed.
Is this a deliberate design decision? If not is it possible to implement it
differently - or am in the minority about finding that confusing?
