A window state is an indicator of the amount of portal page space
that will be assigned to the content generated by a portlet. The JSR 168 Portlet
Specification defines three window states: NORMAL, MAXIMIZED and MINIMIZED.
In addition to these, custom window states are also defined by portal vendors.

Custom Window States |
Defines the custom window states that are used in this portlet application.
Used in the <custom-window-state> element. Portlets
can only use window states that are defined by the portal. If a custom
window state defined in the deployment descriptor is not mapped to a custom
window state provided by the portal, portlets must not be invoked in that
window state. Refer to the WebSphere® Portal InfoCenter to determine which
custom window states are supported by WebSphere Portal. |
