We've encountered some severe issues with DLM and fragment-layouts. As
we started testing fragment-layout changes in our customized portal we
started noticing some strange behavior. After logging into a
fragment-layout user and moving channels around, then logging out and
back in those changes would revert. Sometimes refreshing once would
bring these changes in. Sometimes switching to the customize screen
would show the changes, then going back to the tab would show the
changes that previously weren't visible.
If a fragment-layout is in this state users don't inherit the changes.
However, if you restart the server and login as the fragment-layout
user, the changes appear correctly and are inherited by users.
After encountering these issues I decided to confirm whether the bug is
in uPortal trunk.
I just ran a complete initportal, with the default hsql database and
default entities.
I moved a few channels around in the welcome-lo fragment. After I
logged out and back in as welcome-lo the changes disappeared. When I
went to Customize I saw those changes. At this point, if you click the
Welcome tab, the changes won't be there. However, if you click "Back to
Home" the changes will be in the welcome tab. Once you logout and back
in the changes disappear again. If you login as a user they don't get
the changes, if you revert the layout you can see the changes.
I presume that restarting the server would cause the user to inherit the
changes without reverting layouts but the server shouldn't need to be
restarted just because a fragment-layout changed.
Is DLM not functional in trunk? Are these known issues. Please reply
as soon as possible as we're planning on rolling 3.1 to production this
Sunday.
