Ate Douma reopened JS2-509:
---------------------------
> Portlet Preferences are not stored on a user by user basis
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JS2-509
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-509
> Project: Jetspeed 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Portlet Entities and Preferences
> Affects Versions: 2.0-FINAL
> Environment: Tomcat 5.5, JDK 1.5, Jetspeed 2.0
> Reporter: Aaron Evans
> Fix For: 2.1, 2.1-dev
>
>
> Portlet Preferences are not stored on a user by user basis.
> Looking in the database, it looks as though the preferences are being
> associated with the fragment ID for the portlet of the psml page.
> I am pretty sure that the intention of the portlet spec is to enable the
> storing of preferences on a user by user basis. But apparently this is not
> possible in jetspeed unless the user creates a new portal page?
> The data I see in the DB seems to support this:
> I login as user A, and I have a portlet preference for one of my report
> portlets called reportTimeZone. By default is set to US/Eastern.
> User A edits his portlet preferences and sets the reportTimeZone to be
> US/Pacific.
> Looking in the prefs_property_value table, can see the newly created value.
> It has node ID 2875 and value US/Pacific. The property name is 0, I assume
> that this is the index in the array if it were multi-valued.
> I then look in the prefs_node table for a row with node_id=2875. The row is
> present and the full path of the node is:
> /portlet_entity/reports-3/no-principal/preferences/reportTimeZone/values
> Note that reports-3 is the fragment ID for the portlet fragment in the psml
> page.
> However, instead of 'no-principal', I would have expected to see the user
> name of user A.
> So now I log in as user B and go to edit my portlet preferences and the value
> of the reportTimeZone preference is set to US/Pacific, not the default
> US/Eastern I would have expected.
> So I then, as user B, set the reportTimeZone to US/Central and update my
> preferences.
> Sure enough, it overwrites the value in the prefs_property_value table to
> US/Central.
> So, in order to get the behaviour I need, I would have to generate portal
> pages for each user and vary the id of the portlet fragment? This does not
> seem like a good solution to me.
> Further, in my environment, users are not permitted to create their own pages
> and customize them. I am simply providing a form in the doEdit method of my
> portlet to allow users to customize the behaviour of the portlet.
> So, in my environment, imagine I had a weather portlet on a portal page. If
> someone sets their preferred city to be Bangkok, then *all* users will get
> weather for Bangkok!
> This does not seem right to me...
