[gatein-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (GTNPORTAL-1471) Setting gadget user preferences triggers update of portal page content
[
https://jira.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-1471?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug...
]
Jon Kranes updated GTNPORTAL-1471:
----------------------------------
Description:
The underlying problem appears to be that invoking the gadgets.Prefs.set function triggers
an ajax request to the server (via the ajaxGet method in PortalHttpRequest.js). The
response content returned by the server then causes the portal page content to be replaced
with content in the response. Any gadgets on the page are completely re-initialized and
any transient state they previously had (such as items entered in the ToDo list above) is
lost.
The replacement of the page's content is both unnecessary and undesirable, as
demonstrated by the example above. Users will naturally assume that gadgets function
independent of one another, so having one gadget suddenly lose its data due to an action
taken in another gadget seems contrary to the intent of the gadget paradigm.
