             Summary: Allow per-page PortletPreferences to be specified
                 Key: PLUTO-615
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-615
             Project: Pluto
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: portal driver
    Affects Versions: 2.0.3
            Reporter: Tom Wirschell


I'm trying to develop a web content portlet to use, amongst other portals, on Pluto.
The use-case is that you can have multiple instances of this portlet on any given page which will give some form of text output to the user as configured by the admin. But in the current pluto-portal-driver.xml you can only name a given portlet within its context. You cannot provide additional information to the portlet at this level.

The DefaultPortletPreferencesService generates a key to look up portlet preferences but this key consists of only the portlet name and the remote user's name. This key should be expanded with the page the portlet is on and the instance of the portal within the page (which means the portal-pluto-driver-config.xsd needs to be expanded with something like an optional "instance" field).

If there's a better way to improve on this situation, I'm all ears.

[jira] [Commented] (PLUTO-615) Allow per-page PortletPreferences to be specified

Tom Wirschell commented on PLUTO-615:
-------------------------------------

There are of course many ways in which Pluto can be updated to allow the named functionality.
Cleanest I think would be for the 'render-config/page/portlet' complexType to also contain a preferences element that can provide additional data to that specific portlet instance, but this might very well be a lot of work internally.
