I've written a fairly basic portlet using the struts portlet bridge and deployed it to liferay, navigation within my portlet seems fine, but whenever I click a link on another portlet in the portal my portlet reverts to the view action setup in my portlet.xml rather than re-rendering the existing state. What am I doing wrong?
My portlet.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<portlet-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd" version="2.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<filter-mapping>

</portlet-app>
and struts-portlet-config.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<render-context>
<attribute name="errors"/>
<attribute name="message" keep="true"/>
<attribute prefix="com.perceptive" keep="true"/>

<render path="/test/help.do"/>

<render path="/test/displayTagTest.do"/>
<render path="/test/lookupTest.do"/>
<render path="/test/lookupTestSave.do"/>
</portlet-url-type>
</config>
PS I've already asked this on the liferay forums, but am asking here as well in the hope of a quick answer.
