Portlet Modes Available in uPortal

...

The most common method of switching portlet modes is through a URL. For example, you might create an "edit" URL that when clicked, sends the user to the portlet's edit mode. Portlet mode-switching links may be created through the use of the portlet JSP tag library:

<portlet:renderURL modeportletMode="edit"/>

It is also possible to create a URL which will switch the mode of a portlet through direct use of the Java API:

PortletURL myPortletURL = response.createRenderURL();
myPortletURL.setPortletMode(PortletModeEDIT);

...

Changing portlet mode programmatically

actionResponse.setPortletMode(PortletMode.EDIT);
