---------------------------------------
Summary: Common container should have a mechanism for
out-of-the-box user preference substitution
Key: SHINDIG-1932
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1932
Project: Shindig
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Java
Affects Versions: 2.5.0-beta6, 2.5.0-update1
Environment: Apache Tomcat 7.0.42 (64-bit)
Windows 7 64-bit SP1
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0
Reporter: Mike Pawlowski
Priority: Minor
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Issue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The common container should have some mechanism for user preference replacement
out of the box (at least for default pref values).
Currently, the preference templating feature relies on the JavaScript container
to do the preference value substitution / interpolation. It also allows for
caching of the metadata request even if the preference values change.

Background Information
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM
Several external 3rd-party gadgets fail to render properly using the common
container due to the preference templating feature in Shindig.
e.g.
(1) The Daily Puppy - http://dailypuppy.com/gmod/thedailypuppy.xml
(2) NYTimes.com Top Stories -
http://widgets.nytimes.com/packages/html/igoogle/topstories.xml
(3) YouTube: http://www.gstatic.com/ig/modules/youtube/v3/youtube.xml
(4) Hamster:

This issue affects the following Shindig versions:
* Shindig 2.5.0 Beta 6
* Shindig 2.5.0 (final)
Note: This issue does not affect the deprecated shindig.container using the
same Shindig builds & 3rd-party gadgets.
See JIRA issue for more details

SOLUTION (Verified)
Disable preference templating feature by adding
shindig.urlgen.use-templates-default=false to shindig.properties and
rebuilding Shindig (Recommended by Ryan). By default the common container uses
templates for preferences.
