Re: portal-struts bridge problems

[Mike Douglass]

It's tomcat 5.0.28
My application is fairly complex but I think it should be possible to 
demonstrate it by storing a string attribute in the session. If two 
separate portlets do so with the same name under the bridge (maybe even 
not with the bridge) I'm guessing they'll collide.

I used a debugging feature of my application to display all the session 
attributes and there were none named javax.portlet*

Thanks for your help

by default?

No.
As I wrote above, Struts applications intended to be run isolated 
should be
deployed as separate portlet applications and not merged together in 
one.
The default APPLICATION_SCOPE usage (as per the Portlet 
Specification) is
to *allow* using different (Struts) portlets/servlets in one portlet 
application
with the need to be able to share information using the session.

That's exactly my problem. They are built as completely separate 
portlets, packaged separately but still end up with session 
attributes colliding. The only point of commonality is they they are 
deployed into the same portal.
Then you've found a bug for sure.
Before I'm going to investigate this, I'd like to know what version of 
Tomcat
you are using.

As I wrote earlier, if you are using Tomcat 4.1.x you are bound to 
have this problem.

If you are using Tomcat 5.x you might have found a bug in J2 and/or 
the Struts Bridge.
In that case I definitely will give it the highest priority to find 
and fix the bug...
