Re: container.js question.
The best option is to create your own container configuration and just
override the values that you need. Modify web.xml to point to both the base
configuration and your own (colon-separated). Shindig will take care of
ensuring inheritance works correctly.

I think I also found a bug:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-450
(unless I totally misunderstood the concept)

I updated the documentation, see:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-449
can you look at it?

Yes.. the web.xml comment is what got us to this discussion.. and
perhaps ..some confusion..
if you can update the comment, that would be useful ..

For PHP that comment is perfectly valid.
Just create a myContainer.js, copy the contents of container.js to it,
change
{"gadgets.container" : ["default"],
to
{"gadgets.container" : ["myContainer"],
And make your changes that you need to myContainer.js. This was you can
keep svn updating, etc, plus have a configuration per 'container'. Just
make sure on the iframe URL you specify &container=myContainer for it to
use that config :)
Ps, web.xml is purely Java build stuff and not related to the PHP
version.

"Sorry -- modifying web.xml is unnecessary, I wasn't thinking. You just need
to add it to the properties file and you're good to go."
OK, so, can you please change the comment in container.js to reflect this?
(the current comment reads: "Rather than replacing this file, you should
create your own container.js file and load it directly by modifying the
value of web.xml").
Also, is the change in web.xml / properties file for Java only, or will it
work for PHP too?

Sorry -- modifying web.xml is unnecessary, I wasn't thinking. You just need
to add it to the properties file and you're good to go.

You'd want to modify gadgets.container (give your container a unique name),
as well as overriding any appropriate values. If you don't anything to
override, you don't need a custom configuration.
To give an example, this is the configuration that we use for Orkut:
{"gadgets.container": ["orkut"],
"gadgets.features" : {
"core.io" : {
"proxyUrl" : "http://www.gmodules.com/gadgets/proxy?refresh=
<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://www.gmodules.com/gadgets/proxy%3Frefresh%3D>%refresh%&url=%url%"
},
"rpc" : {
"parentRelayUrl" : "/rpc_relay.html",
},
}}
So, not much change over the base configuration. Other containers might want
even more extensive

Re:- /config/container.js
sorry.. Can i please have a sample few lines of web.xml - so that i
understand what u are referring here..
The only way I understand this is :-
i can copy the gadgets.properties and call it myown.properties file and
add mycontainer.js so that containers.default has mycontainer.js as well
as the default container.js separated by comma..
If I do the above.., in mycontainer.js, do I need to change
gadgets.container and gadgets.parent.. ? and what should those values be ?..
Thanks..
