JPF portlet and setupStateChangeEvent

Question

I have a JPF portlet as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</netuix:content>
</netuix:portlet>

PortletBackingContext pbc = PortletBackingContext.getPortletBackingContext(getRequest());
String state = WindowCapabilities.MAXIMIZED.getName();
if(pbc != null)
pbc.setupStateChangeEvent(state);
String title = pbc.getTitle();
getRequest().setAttribute("message", "In the edit page");
return new Forward("success");

protected Forward start()
PortletBackingContext pbc = PortletBackingContext.getPortletBackingContext(getRequest());
pbc.setupStateChangeEvent(WindowCapabilities.NORMAL.getName());
getRequest().setAttribute("message", "Hello");
return new Forward("success");
Question: The portlet is not getting maximized when I click on edit button in my portlet.

Hi,
The Solution is very straight forward.If you are creating a JavaPageFlow based portlet then in JSP you must use beehive netui tag.If you are using simple jsp tag then it will not fullfill your requirement.
Create a pageflow ,in the index.jsp page create a form(with <netui:form action="submitData">) tag.Create two text boxes(<netui:text>) and then create a form bean in the controller which will be associated with the action of the form.
In the controller's submitData action put the value in the request or session and forward to displayData.jsp.
Now create a portlet out of this pageFlow and put on the portal file.
