Portlet on maximize reloading the content

[swatiagarwal]

Hi,

I am using smartGWT Power Edition.

I am using Portlet component as below:
Portlet contentSection = new Portlet();
htmlPane = new HTMLPane();
htmlPane.setContentsType(ContentsType.PAGE);
htmlPane.setContentsURL(pdfPath);
contentSection.addMember(htmlPane);

Whenever i maximize the portlet, the call to the pdf URL is fired again. How can i stop the behaviour.

Regards,
Swati

Maximizing requires moving the portlet out of it's container, which requires the content to be removed from the DOM and re-added. This is done via re-creating the HTML, so a reload is unavailable. Two ways to approach this:

1. don't use HTMLPane to draw the <iframe>, instead draw it yourself, and manage removing and re-inserting it via direct manipulation of the DOM over the clear() / draw() cycle that is required for maximizing

or

2. use Feature Sponsorship to have Isomorphic implement an approach like the above, as a new supported feature.

For the latter option use the Contact Us page to get started.
