The only thing I can think of is a caching issue somewhere, we're on about 3.1-M1 and I don't think we've seen this issue but I'll see if I can verify that tomorrow. I'll also look into any local modifications we might have that would change how things work with DLM fragments for us.

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.
