Re: Problem with custom mode

Hi Nicolas,

This is because custom portlet modes are defined by a portal, not by a 
portlet. Portal servers support the standard modes (view, edit, help) 
and may define and support additional ones (custom). WebSphere Portal 
for instance supports a configure mode as a custom portlet mode.

A portlet can check, which modes are supported by the runtime. This is 
what your line
     request.getPortalContext().getSupportedPortletModes();
does. Note that it is "getPortalContext", not "getPortletContext" ...

I hope this helps,
     Stefan
