## javax.portlet
Interface ActionResponse

All Superinterfaces:
  PortletResponse

All Known Implementing Classes:
  ActionResponseImpl

    public interface ActionResponse

extends PortletResponse

The `ActionResponse` interface represents the portlet response to an action request. It extends the `PortletResponse` interface to provide specific action response functionality to portlets.
The portlet container creates an `ActionResponse` object and passes it as argument to the portlet's `processAction` method.

`void` | `sendRedirect(java.lang.String location)` Instructs the portlet container to send a redirect response to the client using the specified redirect location URL.
`void` | `setPortletMode(PortletMode portletMode)` Sets the portlet mode of a portlet to the given portlet mode.
`void` | `setRenderParameter(java.lang.String key, java.lang.String value)` Sets a String parameter for the render request.
`void` | `setRenderParameter(java.lang.String key, java.lang.String[] values)` Sets a String array parameter for the render request.

Method Detail

### setWindowState

    void setWindowState(WindowState windowState)
                        throws WindowStateException

  Sets the window state of a portlet to the given window state.

  Possible values are the standard window states and any custom window states supported by the portal and the portlet. Standard window states are:
  - MINIMIZED
  - NORMAL
  - MAXIMIZED

  Parameters:
    `windowState` - the new portlet window state
  Throws:
    `WindowStateException` - if the portlet cannot switch to the specified window state. To avoid this exception the portlet can check the allowed window states with `Request.isWindowStateAllowed()`.
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the method is invoked after `sendRedirect` has been called.

    `WindowState`

### setPortletMode

    void setPortletMode(PortletMode portletMode)
                        throws PortletModeException

  Sets the portlet mode of a portlet to the given portlet mode.

  Possible values are the standard portlet modes and any custom portlet modes supported by the portal and the portlet. Portlets must declare in the deployment descriptor the portlet modes they support for each markup type. Standard portlet modes are:
  - EDIT
  - HELP
  - VIEW

  Note: The portlet may still be called in a different window state in the next render call, depending on the portlet container / portal.

  Parameters:
    `portletMode` - the new portlet mode
  Throws:
    `PortletModeException` - if the portlet cannot switch to this portlet mode, because the portlet or portal does not support it for this markup, or the current user is not allowed to switch to this portlet mode. To avoid this exception the portlet can check the allowed portlet modes with `Request.isPortletModeAllowed()`.
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the method is invoked after `sendRedirect` has been called.

### sendRedirect

    void sendRedirect(java.lang.String location)
                      throws java.io.IOException,
                             java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                             java.lang.IllegalStateException

  Instructs the portlet container to send a redirect response to the client using the specified redirect location URL.

  This method only accepts an absolute URL (e.g. `http://my.co/myportal/mywebap/myfolder/myresource.gif`) or a full path URI (e.g. `/myportal/mywebap/myfolder/myresource.gif`). If required, the portlet container may encode the given URL before the redirection is issued to the client.

  The sendRedirect method can not be invoked after any of the following methods of the ActionResponse interface has been called:
  - setPortletMode
  - setWindowState
  - setRenderParameter
  - setRenderParameters

  Parameters:
    `location` - the redirect location URL
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the method is invoked after any of above mentioned methods of the ActionResponse interface has been called.
    `java.io.IOException` - if an input or output exception occurs.
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if a relative path URL is given

### setRenderParameters

    void setRenderParameters(java.util.Map parameters)
                             throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                                    java.lang.IllegalStateException

  Sets a parameter map for the render request.

  All previously set render parameters are cleared.

  These parameters will be accessible in all sub-sequent render calls via the `PortletRequest.getParameter` call until a new request is targeted to the portlet.

  The given parameters do not need to be encoded prior to calling this method.

  Parameters:
    `parameters` - Map containing parameter names for the render phase as keys and parameter values as map values. The keys in the parameter map must be of type String. The values in the parameter map must be of type String array (`String[]`).
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the method is invoked after `sendRedirect` has been called.
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if parameters is `null`, if any of the key/values in the Map are `null`, if any of the keys is not a String, or if any of the values is not a String array.

### setRenderParameter

    void setRenderParameter(java.lang.String key,
                            java.lang.String value)
                            throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                                   java.lang.IllegalStateException

  Sets a String parameter for the render request.

  These parameters will be accessible in all sub-sequent render calls via the `PortletRequest.getParameter` call until a request is targeted to the portlet.

  This method replaces all parameters with the given key.

  The given parameter do not need to be encoded prior to calling this method.

  Parameters:
    `key` - key of the render parameter
    `value` - value of the render parameter
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the method is invoked after `sendRedirect` has been called.
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if key or value are `null`.

### setRenderParameter

    void setRenderParameter(java.lang.String key,
                            java.lang.String[] values)
                            throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                                   java.lang.IllegalStateException

  Sets a String array parameter for the render request.

  These parameters will be accessible in all sub-sequent render calls via the `PortletRequest.getParameter` call until a request is targeted to the portlet.

  This method replaces all parameters with the given key.

  The given parameter do not need to be encoded prior to calling this method.

  Parameters:
    `key` - key of the render parameter
    `values` - values of the render parameter
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the method is invoked after `sendRedirect` has been called.
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if key or value are `null`.
