Hi Antony,

I think you might have uncovered a serious bug in 
PortletSession.setAttribute(name,value) here.
I'm with you that *by the spec* it should store the attribute under 
PORTLET_SCOPE, not APPLICATION_SCOPE.
In the "old' Pluto 1.0.1 this is also what is done, but in the new Pluto 2.0 this seems to incorrectly changed when the Portlet request is "included" or "forwarded" (e.g. about always).
I've traced this back to commit r577681 which was a merge of some patches 
brought in by people working on the Portlet 2.0 spec implementation.

I *think* this might be done based on an incorrect interpretation of
  PLT.10.4.3 - Runtime Option javax.portlet.servletDefaultSessionScope

I'm going to further investigate this as it definitely does seem wrongly implemented and will try to fix this ASAP, both in trunk and in the spi-refactoring branch.

Regards,

Ate

Ok, trying to track this down, think I've found something.

Why does the Pluto PorletSessionImpl#setAttribute use application shop in the following situation? This really needs explanation ala javadoc etc. Because in the spec, it clearly says that setAttribute should use PORTLET_SCOPE as it does in the else block. This seems to be cause the session attributes set in getWindowId in the Apache Bridges to fail in detecting the container assigned window id, because of course the attribute gets put into APPLICATION_SCOPE and a window id is never created.

    public void setAttribute(String name, Object value, int scope) {
        ArgumentUtility.validateNotNull("attributeName", name);
        if (scope == PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE) {
                httpSession.setAttribute(name, value);
        } else {
                httpSession.setAttribute(createPortletScopedId(name),  value);
        }
    }

Ok, yup, changing the setAttribute calls from PortletWindowUtils#getWindowId to call the explicit version of setAttribute(name,value,scope) and pass PortletSession.PORTLET_SCOPE lets the Apache Bridges function work correctly.

I will continue to investigate. Can anyone offer an explanation? The Apache Bridges issue is again, here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PB-84

    I'm having difficulty getting my helloworld portlet running on
    pluto, with apache bridges. I am getting
    StringIndexOutOfBoundsException on PortletWindowUtils#getWindowId

    portletWindowId = nameRef[0].substring("javax.portlet.p.".length(),
    nameRef[0].indexOf('?'));

    throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException, because the value of
    nameRef[0] comes back just as PORTLET_WINDOW_ID

    i.e. "org.apache.portals.bridges.util.portlet_window_id" not
    "javax.portlet.p.*" as the code implies

    getPortletWindowId for session: CC465B39BA9199712DEEF690F90AE2C2 (thread:

     no portletWindowId yet - going to derive it.

    SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet default threw exception
    java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -17

    I'm not sure but I discussed it here and it may be related:
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PB-84 CCE in
    PortletWindowUtils.getPortletWindowId

    Does the Bridges windowId code not work correctly when running on
    portlet 2.0 perhaps? I know sessio0n isolation is now an optional
    feature of portlet 2.0 - perhaps that's causing problems.
