[jira] Commented: (PLUTO-42) control.getPIDValue(); always returns "", PORTLET_ID is never set

["Dave Glasser (JIRA)" <pl...@jakarta.apache.org>]

Dave Glasser commented on PLUTO-42:
-----------------------------------

As Prerana pointed out in the opening comment, this bug completely breaks compliance with PLT.16.1.1. Passing parameters to a servlet or JSP seems like a critical piece of functionality to me. I think this should have a priority higher than minor.
