Eric, I haven't actually been able to track this issue down at the portal level to open a JIRA, but I have stumbled upon a rather strange an issue with portlet preferences. Cross posted to @portlet-dev, the problem I have run into is that portlet preferences do not seem to return the stored values on subsequent calls on the portlet request object. Specifically, the email preview portlet is one that I have been able to duplicate this issue running against the latest master. When the portlet saves the configuration, I see that all proper calls are made and values stored and yet, on subsequent calls when the portlet actually goes to retrieve the values, they are returned as null. I think the problem is at the portal level somewhere as the portlet doesn't really do anything weird enough to make me suspect something, but nevertheless, I haven't been able to step through the code just yet.
To provide a little bit of context, the one preference value I have been having trouble is the authenticationServiceKey, which gets properly set to portletPreferences and yet comes back as null when the portlet goes to retrieve the account configuration set. Drew had suggested that this may be to a previous bug recently fixed that mixed up the handling of readonly preference values, but I have pull that change and am running the latest portal master. Something else must be interfering with the preferences object. I think I'll try and see if I can duplicate the issue with a simple HelloWorld portlet first before stepping through the portal. My plan is to save a couple of values into the preferences in the EDIT mode and retrieve them in the VIEW mode. I'll post back shortly, but in the meanwhile, if the dev team do get a chance to review this, it'd great help.
