Custom portals cannot use remote portlets ----------------------------------------- Key: GTNPORTAL-3524 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-3524 Project: GateIn Portal Issue Type: Bug Components: WSRP integration Reporter: Juraci Paixão Kröhling Assignee: Juraci Paixão Kröhling Fix For: 3.9.0.Final Before GTNPORTAL-3291, the FederatingPortletInvoker was shared among all contexts, meaning that a PortletInvoker responsible for local portlets was the same on "portal" and on "sample-portal". Similarly, a WSRP PortletInvoker was also shared. This caused the problems described in 3291 and 2700 and a fix was issued in that each context would have it's own FederatingPortletInvoker . With local portlets, each context having its own FederatingPortletInvoker is not a big issue, because the query is made at the JCR level for which portlets are available. With remote portlets, it's a problem, as WSRP registers the consumers only once, for the "portal" context. This means that the consumer invokers are not available for non-"portal" contexts. With this, a call from the context "sample-portal" to the FederatingPortletInvoker, requesting portlet "selfv2.bla" would fail, as there's no way to find this portlet on this particular invoker tree. While the producers are also started for the "portal" context, the fact that producers have their own servlet context makes it immune from this bug, as all HTTP calls to the producers reaches a context whose invoker *knows* about the requested portlet. In other words: producers are not affected by this bug.
