Issue with import export

[Arun Wagle <ar...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

We are using jetspeed portal and have issues with import export utility

1) We have issues when exporting and then importing from the root folder.
Wehn we import, it messes the administrative folders and stuff and we get
lots of errors after that.
     Is this a known issue.
     We want to do something like, create a newe folder say xyz and have all
the pages, menus etc under this folder. When the user logs into the
portal we want them to be redirected to this folder instead of the default
root without affecting anything else so that the user can import and export
this folder directly instead of doinbg it at the root. How do we do this ?


2) Aslo when we export the pages, the folder.metadata folder does not export
security-constraints and menu nodes in the file. How do we export these ?


3) Is there a way to export and import page.security file present at the
root ?

Regards,
Arun Wagle

OK, I responded on the -dev list, now I see this again on the -user  
list. Please send questions to one list or the other. Let me respond  
again here....

I just did an export, but I did not see any errors logged. What kind  
of errors are you getting?

There are profiling rules for handling this. You can read about them  
here:

http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/guides/guide-profiler.html

The "user-role-fallback" might be useful for your use case. Each user  
can have its own "home" folder.

The folder.metadata should be exported. I just verified that.
I also exported the root recursively, and found these menus exported  
in the root folder.metadata:

  <menu name="page-navigations" depth="0" paths="false" regexp="false">
        <options depth="0" paths="false" regexp="false">/ 
Administrative/portal-admin,/Administrative/security</options>
    </menu>
    <menu name="additional-links" options="/*.link" depth="0"
        paths="false" regexp="true"/>

This functionality is missing. We need to create a JIRA issue to get  
that resolved.

Export at root works fine. Please mention what errors that you are getting
