LS,

I installed a fresh jetspeed 2.1.2 using the binary installer using all defaults
except the base directory location.

All starts up OK, no errors as far as I can see.

After logging in as Admin I created a few pages with Rome_RSS portlets.
I configured the porlets each with another RSS feed.

Now I have the following :

- When not logged in I only see the default RSS feed from the portlet
- When logged in as admin it is not always the same
    Sometimes the default rss feed
    Sometimes the newly configured ones.
  I have not (yet) found the rationale behind both options.

Questions :

- How can I configure a Rome_rss portlet config to be used by a guest
  - Did anyone see the same when logged in ?

BTW : I have a 2.0 version of jetspeed running where it works as I expected.


Yes, we changed the behavior (due to overwhelming requests from end users) so that preferences are not truly "user-specific" So if you login as the Administrator, change the preferences for an RSS portlet, then those preferences are only stored for the admin user and are not visible to other users. In 2.0, preferences were not stored for a specific-user. They were stored uniquely on the page.

We plan to provide a new "Configure" mode in the next release addressing this issue by allowing the administrator to configure the defaults for all users on the current page,
override the defaults made available in the portlet.xml system wide

See

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-634

If you don't want to wait, you can configure the system to work the "old" 2.0 way although I don't recommend that, as this fix should be available in the next bug fix release within the next month or so
