CocoonPortlet needs to allow overriding servlet-path parameter with preferences.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COCOON-1998
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1998
Project: Cocoon
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Blocks: Portal
Affects Versions: 2.1.11-dev (Current SVN)
Reporter: Woonsan Ko
Fix For: 2.1.11-dev (Current SVN)
Attachments: servlet-path-pref-diff.txt
The CocoonPortlet in BRANCH_2_1_X does not allow overriding the *servlet-path*
init parameter by preferences.
If the CocoonPortlet reads preferences to override the 'servlet-path', portal
users can use manycoplet fragments without tedious portlet tag additions.
FYI, some portals such as Jetspeed 2 allows inline preference settings, not
allowed for end-users.
Without this feature, portal users have to add portlet tags in the portlet.xml
whenever they need to use another coplet in the portal site.
To test properly for the patch, you should add init-parameter in the
cocoon/WEB-INF/portlet.xml like the
following:
<portlet>
<portlet-name>CocoonPortlet</portlet-name>
...
<init-param>
<name>allow-preferences</name>
<value>true</value>
</init-param>
...
</portlet>
ManagedCocoonPortlet will read preferences just when the above parameter is set
to true. (I borrowed this from GenericServletPortlet in Apache portal bridges.)
I've tested this modification under Jetspeed-2
(/WEB-INF/pages/default-page.psml).
The portlet fragment can be added with preferences like the following:
<fragment id="dp-19" type="portlet" name="cocoon::CocoonPortlet">
<property name="row" value="6"/>
<property name="column" value="0"/>
<preference name="servlet-path" readOnly="true">
<value>samples/blocks/portal/portlets/helloworld</value>
</preference>
</fragment>
