Hi Justin, Thank you for your update.
I found we can add some userprefs data in the Rpcservlet for the metadata request. the new added user prefs will be appended in the iframeUrl string. the client can get them and add the data to the Useprefs object using the javascript functions. I will check the GadgetFactory class you mentioned. Thank you again! Yong 2010/6/14 Justin Wyllie <[email protected]>: > > Hi Yong > With respect to your second question.
