specifying id for deployed portlet
Hey all,
I have another question... Does anyone know if there is a way to specify
the id to be used for a portlet in the psml? In other words, can the id
be specified in the database instead of generated when the portlet is
deployed?
I am using Derby with jetspeed2.
I would think that there is since the jetspeed portlets are referenced
by specific ids instead of generated, however I recognize that it may
just be a matter of properly inserting into the database on
initialization as well...
Just thought I'd check!

Hi Randy,
Yeah - it is the fragment id that I want to specify. For example, in
this snippet form default-page.psml:
<fragment id="dp-3" type="portlet" name="j2-admin::LocaleSelector">
<property layout="TwoColumns" name="row" value="0" />
<property layout="TwoColumns" name="column" value="1" />
</fragment>
id="dp-3" -> I would like to be able to give the portlets a meaningful
(and reproducable) id here. I am working in a dev. environment on a
portal that will be distributed, so it would be nice to be able to
provide the fragment id initially. In HSQL I went in and modified the
text of the db to get the id that I wanted, but that is obivously not an
optimal solution...
So the base question would be - how is it that on deployment the
Jetspeed portlets have "dp-#" for a fragment id instead of
P-{timestampAtDeploymentTime}- is this set up in the db setup sql?
Thanks!

ps - i will review last weeks discussion as well...

Lizann,
I am not sure which id you are after, but most of the ids associated
with portlet ids come from the associated Fragment id. See any PSML file
for Fragment definitions and check if that is indeed the id you are
seeking.
There is a DB PageManager that stores PSML in the DB. In that case, the
ids would be in the DB if that is what you require. See messages on this
list from the last week for how to configure the DB PageManager if you
need it.

The id for a fragment can be specified in the PSML file.
With the default File System impl of the Page Manager, if you provide
your own fragment IDs, you must take care yourself to not duplicate the IDs.
One thing to note: if you import the pages into the database, the PSML
fragment IDs will be discarded and new ids will be generated. This means
that any code relying on the IDs from the PSML file will no longer
properly refernence the fragment by ID.
