Gary Hu commented on GTNPORTAL-1752:
------------------------------------

Ok, here is another scenario. 

Even if you set the "preferences" initially in the portal.xml, and if you remove the portlet from the page and add it later, the "preferences" tab disappear again. In another word, if you add the portlet to the page from the UI (not load it through the portal.xml where the "preferences" property is set), it won't show the "preferences" tab.

> The default site classic includes the following in the gatein.ear/02portal.war/WEB-INF/conf/portal/portal/classic/portal.xml:
>   <portlet-application>
>       <portlet>
>         <application-ref>web</application-ref>
>         <portlet-ref>BannerPortlet</portlet-ref>
>         <preferences>
>           <preference>
>             <name>template</name>

> 	    <show-info-bar>false</show-info-bar>
>   </portlet-application>

>       <portlet>
>         <application-ref>web</application-ref>
>         <portlet-ref>BreadcumbsPortlet</portlet-ref>        
>       </portlet>
>       <access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>
> 	    <show-info-bar>false</show-info-bar>
>  </portlet-application>
> Please note that the BannerPortlet contains "preferences" property but the BreadcumbsPortlet doesn't.
> To reproduce the issue,
>  1)  log on the EPP 5 as root. 
>  2) go to the classic site
>  3) under the "Site Editor"  click "Edit Layout". 
>  4) click the "Edit Portlet" icon on Banner Portlet, it shows a tab "Preferences". If clicking the "Edit Portlet" icon on Breadcumbs Portlet, it doesn't show the "Preferences" tab.   
> If you modify the portal.xml to add the "preferences" element it won't take effect until the database is cleaned up and the server is restarted.
