I have been looking at a few problems with a customer that is using
Jetspeed as a base for portal development.
They are trying to have a system that could manage sessions when a user
has no/has disabled cookies. I found that turbine supports this quite
easily. It is enough with using in every place the "DynamicURI(rundata)"
to build the URL. This works both with JServ and Tomcat.
The problems come when I try to apply this concept to Jetspeed. I have
been looking to all of the places where URLs are generated, and I modify
it. It is close to be complete. I will ask them for authorisation to
"free" this code, and I think I will get it.
But I have found problems to retrieve the rundata is some places. For
instance, the applications porlet cached too much data in the current
implementation. I have implemented an alternative. And so on.
Reading the code, I'm not completely sure that the current design is
right. If I understand it correctly, when the jetspeed screen gets a
getContent(rundata) request, it stores the rundata in the PortletConfig,
and calls getContent().
What happens if two users are requesting the same portlet at about the
same time? The rundata will get mixed, and so one user can end up with
the other users session.
I think we should keep passing the rundata down in every getContent(),
or else, passing a new PortletConfig/PortletControllerConfig down with
every request. If we do not do so, there is a risk we mix up sessions.
THis is if I understand correctly the code and the sobject model, of
which I'm not completely sure.
I know that is a major change, but we should make sure we are doing
things right.
Could this be related with the problem Neeme had, a few threads ago?
