No problem, I knew this was unlikely because of its lateness, but I thought I would try. At least I got your attention ;-). Anyway I am in process of wrapping up jsr301 and this will soon be followed by jsr329. This means a production 301 bridge should be released sometime in May with a Beta 329 close behind it. The Production 329 bridge should be out by late summer/early fall. Bug 569 only impacts the 329 bridge (and any portlet app that has multiple portlets in it that communicate via events). I don't recall at the moment the specific use case that caused me to track down 581 but suspect it applies to both versions.

I would really like to see PLUTO-581 ans PLUTO-569 fixed as part of this
release. Both these bugs provide specific suggestions for code fixes.
Both these bugs have a significantly impair the JSF Bridge from
executing properly in a Pluto 2.0 environment. The second bug causes JSF
based portlets using events to deadlock. The first leads to situations
where submitted parameters are lost because they aren't properly decoded.

Hi Mike,

I'm sorry to hear, this late, these issues are so important for the JSF Portlet Bridge.
As such, I agree these issues probably should be fixed ASAP.

However, as neither of these issues were actively pursued, like with follow up emails on the dev list after they were entered in JIRA (6 and 10 months ago), you should understand that for the Portals dev team, as small team as we are, these issues were not recognizable as critical to be fixed for this 2.0.1 release.

As a general rule I would suggest anyone needing specific features or bugs fixed to actively pursue them and interact with the dev team, more than only record them in JIRA, to ensure they'll get the proper attention needed.

Also, I'd like to mention that for the Portals team the Pluto portlet container is the primary target of concern, less so the Pluto Portal Driver (which the issues you brought forward both apply to). The Portal Driver's primary existence is providing a testbed for the Portlet spec TCK (which the container passes), not to be a 100% bullet-proof product for its own sake (for that you should be looking at other, more quality driven portals like Jetspeed-2).

Having said that, these issues definitely can and should be fixed if it helps others testing and validating, like the JSF Portlet-Bridge.

I'm willing to help out and fix these two (and more if needed) issues ASAP, but preferably *after* the 2.0.1 release. And if you'll need these fixes released soon, we can easily do so with a follow up Pluto 2.0.2 release.

Please let us know your concrete time schedule and possible other requirements are for getting these issues fixed and a possible release to go with and we'll try to help out where we can.

Regards,

Ate
