I just did similar test with 3.1_M1 and reproduced the bug. There
were slight differences but the nature of the bug was the same. At
the end when the porctal is in that state where the fragment-layout
is cached and switches to the new layout when you click a tab I made
sure to wait 5 minutes and it still didn't switch to the new
layout. Restarting tomcat always seems to resolves the issue. So
the database appears to be correct, just the in-memory caching is
problematic. Tell me if you need more information, logs, database
notes, etc.

Yesterday I was testing somewhat haphazardly. Today I methodically
went through and wrote down every change I did and was able to
reproduce the bug. I haven't been able to determine what type of
channel moves are causing the problem, the first run through went
fine, but as you can see I get strange behavior later on. It does
seem to be some kind of caching issue. I'm going to checkout M1
and do the exact same thing and see if I reproduce the bug in M1.
I've bolded odd behaviors to make them easier to find.

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.
