I was debugging the metadata rpc code when I cam across something interesting, that I don't quite understand. When you request metadata for a gadget it looks like part of that metadata is the iFrame URL, the URL to render the gadget. This is URL is constructed in DefaultiFrameUriManager.java. However, I remembered while debugging the shindig-container.js code that it also constructs the iFrame URL in it's getiFrameUrl method. It appears that at least in samplecontainer.js we ignore the iFrame URL returned in the metadata request and choose to let shindig-container.js construct the iFrame URL instead. Why is that? Is one method preferred over the other?
