I noticed that preferences appear to be saved in memory in a map in the DefaultPortletPreferencesService. I have written my own implementation of this service to save to a database instead; however, the store method seems to get called every time the pref is used and not just when it is changed or created.
Is there a way to know if the preference coming into the store method is a default pref, a new pref, or a changed pref so I don't need to save to the database each time. Jeremy
