[gatein-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Assigned: (GTNPORTAL-1605) Merging PageNavigations should also merge child PageNodes

Merging PageNavigations should also merge child PageNodes --------------------------------------------------------- Key: GTNPORTAL-1605 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-1605 Project: GateIn Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Reporter: Matt Wringe Assignee: Khoi Nguyen Attachments: merge_pageNodes.patch Original Estimate: 1 day Remaining Estimate: 1 day The PageNavigation.merge command only merges in top level PageNodes, if a PageNode with the same name already exists, it will overwrite the previous node with a new one. This prevents being able to add a new page node to a subnode which already exists. For example, the administration node by default contains the app-registry and page-management PageNodes. I cannot use the extension mechanism to add an extra PageNode here, since the PageNavigation.merge will delete the current administration node and overwrite it with the one I specify in the extension. In this situation I am stuck adding it to another top level location, which is not ideal. What should happen is that the child PageNodes get merged together, so that I can add extra nodes anywhere in the PageNode tree. This will however change the behaviour of how extensions work. What this means is that you can no longer overwrite or remove PageNodes using the extension mechanism.
