WSRP4J producer configuration question

[Alexandre-Michael Neubert <al...@edifixio.com>]

Hello List,

 

I have a problem regarding WSRP4J configuration. Here is my architecture:

*	I use WPS on client side to consume my remote portlets 
*	I user tomcat 5.5.16 instrumented with wsrp4j and Pluto on server
side to expose the portets

 

Everything works fine:

*	WPS declared a handler which can be found in WSRP4J under:
~/apache-tomcat-5.5.16/webapps/wsrp4j-producer/WEB-INF/persistence/registrie
s/org.apache.wsrp4j.commons.producer.driver.RegistrationImpl@5132526.xml .
Here is its code:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Registration>

    <RegistrationContext>

 
<registration-handle>192.168.0.2_1182184988693_1</registration-handle>

    </RegistrationContext>

    <RegistrationData method-get-supported="false">

        <consumer-name>IBM WebSphere Portal</consumer-name>

        <consumer-modes>wsrp:help</consumer-modes>

        <consumer-modes>wsrp:edit</consumer-modes>

 
<consumer-modes>urn:javax:portlet:mode:custom:configure</consumer-modes>

        <consumer-modes>wsrp:view</consumer-modes>

        <consumer-agent>IBM WebSphere Portal 5.1.0.3</consumer-agent>

        <consumer-window-states>wsrp:maximized</consumer-window-states>

        <consumer-window-states>wsrp:normal</consumer-window-states>

        <consumer-window-states>wsrp:minimized</consumer-window-states>

    </RegistrationData>

</Registration>

 

*	There is also a file in the same directory
(org.apache.wsrp4j.commons.producer.provider.driver.ConsumerPortletRegistrat
ionImpl@192.168.0.2_1182184988693_1.xml) which registers the exposed
portlets using WPS identifiers. Here is its code:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<consumer-portlet-registration-impl

    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" empty="false"
xsi:type="java:org.apache.wsrp4j.commons.producer.provider.dri

ver.ConsumerPortletRegistrationImpl">

    <registration-handle>192.168.0.2_1182184988693_1</registration-handle>

    <portlet-handles
xsi:type="java:java.lang.String">myportlet.192.168.0.2_1182781519037_6</port
let-handles>

    <portlet-handles
xsi:type="java:java.lang.String">myportlet.192.168.0.2_1182781519042_5</port
let-handles>

   <portlet-handles
xsi:type="java:java.lang.String">myportlet.192.168.0.2_1182781519044_1</port
let-handles>

   <portlet-handles
xsi:type="java:java.lang.String">myportlet.192.168.0.2_1182781519043_4</port
let-handles>

   <portlet-handles
xsi:type="java:java.lang.String">myportlet.192.168.0.2_1182781519036_2</port
let-handles>    .

 

The same tags can be found in
~/apache-tomcat-5.5.16/webapps/wsrp4j-producer/WEB-INF/data/portletentityreg
istery.xml:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<portlet-entity-registry>

    <application id="myportlet">

        <definition-id> myportlet </definition-id>

        <portlet id="192.168.0.2_1182496841942_1">

            <definition-id>myportlet.FirstPortlet</definition-id>

        </portlet>

 

But, I get strange behaviours, which I suppose, is due to a lack of
configuration:

*	Every time I submit a form in the remote portlet in WPS, a tag like
those above is generated in
org.apache.wsrp4j.commons.producer.provider.driver.ConsumerPortletRegistrati
onImpl@192.168.0.2_1182184988693_1.xml  and in portletentityregistery.xml
which causes these files to be incredibly big after a while
*	My Portlets behave strange after a while. Sometimes when I navigate
in my portlet, a link action or a form submission causes the portlet to
display the portlets view page as if I had never perfumed the navigation
(information of the navigation is lost).

 

Now, my questions are:

*         First, did I understand well the registration process or are other
files than those above involved?

*         How come that I get a tag generation at every form submission? Can
it be related to a bad consumer configuration on WPS side? Or is it supposed
to work that way?

*         Is my strange portlet behaviour related to my second question? Or
can it be some sort of cache on consumer side?

 

I know most problems raised here are probably WPS related, but I want to
make sure at first that nothing goes wrong on wsrp4j side at that time.

 

Thanks a lot for every help,

 

Regards,

 

Alexandre
