Common Container does not utilize view aliases when rendering a gadget
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SHINDIG-1596
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1596
Project: Shindig
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Javascript
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Stanton Sievers
Fix For: 3.0.0
osapi.container.GadgetSite.prototype.render fails to render a gadget using a
given view when that gadget does not explicitly define that view, even in the
case where the container configuration has aliases for that view.
For instance, Gadget A supports the "profile" and "canvas" views only. The
container configuration defines the "home" view and provides "profile" as an
alias for "home". In the use case where the container tries to render Gadget A
using the "home" view, gadget render will fail, even though the gadget supports
"profile" and it has been specified as an alias for "home" in the container
configuration.
This problem commonly manifests itself in Shindig because of the way "default"
views are handled. By default, Shindig will attempt to render the gadget using
the "default" view. If the gadget does not support that view, rendering will
fail.
