Solo state in Portal server

[Dhiren Joshi]

Does any one know how I can be assured of moving into a solo state.
I read up on info on IBM sites and the only information is that if I set portletWindowState="solo" and click that link, I would push portlet into solo state. That does not seem to be happening.

<h3>Your <a <br /> page.finance" rel="nofollow">
<% wpsURL.write(out); %>
</wps:urlGeneration>">Statement of Account
includes:</h3>


then my portlet checks if portlet is in solo state.
But this value always returns back a false.

/**
* @param request
* @return
* $A1
*/
public boolean checkSoloMode(RenderRequest request) {
boolean isSoloMode= false;
request.getWindowState();
System.out.println(" THE WINDOW STATE IN PORTLET="+request.getWindowState());
if (request.getWindowState().equals("solo")) {
isSoloMode=true;
}
return isSoloMode;
}


Is this an incorrect way of checking solo State in Portlet.

Thanks
