Link from a portlet to a page

Question

I've made a JSP portlet that contains a table with an overview. When you want to see the details of a subject, you've to click on a link.Then there should be opened a new window with a another JSP (contains the details). The window has to contain a new page (which will contain the new JSP portlet)
I've tried to do this with the following code :
<a title="Click here to view the details of this call"
target="_blank"
href="<%=HttpPortletRendererUtil.parameterizeLink( request,
PortletRendererUtil.PAGE_LINK,
HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, "next_page") +
"=open_call_detailsView_Browse.jsp&id="+
currentCall.getAttribute("INQUIRY_ID")) %>">
I give one parameter with the URL.
But this code opens a new window with the previous page with the new JSP portlet on the place of the old JSP-portlet(this code is derived from the multipage-sample).
So, what has to come instead of PAGE_LINK ?
How can I find the String ?
Thanks,
Bart

Hi Bart,
The scenario you've described works exactly as it should.
If you want to display your second JSP on an entirely new portal page, you need to create that page first and then refer to it. Try to define the URL of that second page, and change the PortletRendererUtil.PAGE_LINK in the parameterizeLink() method accordingly. If that page contains a multipage like portlet, keep the next_page parameter. Otherwise you won't need it.
If you want to display your second JSP on its own, not on a portal page, you have to make your JSP available from the browser directly and point the link to it (without the next_page parameter).
Hope this helps.
