[ 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 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. was: The behavior in question can be easily demonstrated by placing two instances of the default ToDo gadget onto a dashboard page. Enter one or more ToDo items on each of the two gadgets. Then click 'Save' on one of the two gadgets. Observe that the newly entered items on the other ToDo gadget are now lost.

[ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-1471?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug... ] kien nguyen commented on GTNPORTAL-1471: ---------------------------------------- All content of page will not be updated in every gadget request. Only Dashboard portlet's content (a fragment response) will be updated, so all gadgets of dashboard will be updated. The Gadget specification don't say any thing about gadget rendering. it's a implementation of GateIn, I see iGoogle has the same behaviour. In GateIn Todo gadget, When you enter some value on it, if you don't press 'Save' button, these values haven't yet saved to preference and next reloading of gadget, it only load saved values. We may improve Todo gadget to save values automatically after user finish entering values (don't need to press 'Save' button) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Currently, GateIn don't use response 204 No Content for any portlet requests, so gadget is the same behaviors -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
