[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GTNPORTAL-702?page=com.atlassian.jira.... ] Benjamin Mestrallet commented on GTNPORTAL-702: ----------------------------------------------- This feature is important in a production environment while you think yourself of a dev env. Indeed there are 2 different types of people working with the portal: - the developer that adds/package is portlet for his enterprise or for the company that sells it - the operation guy, who is functional and that manages the application he provides to the end users. There is a big difference between the two usage and the import button is there to ease the work of the developer when he develops BUT this should not be used in production. Adding automatically the portlet is not something we want in real life as it does not give the power to the operation guy to rename, organize, describe and secure the application before making them available to the end users -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GTNPORTAL-702?page=com.atlassian.jira.... ] Julien Viet commented on GTNPORTAL-702: --------------------------------------- Here is the comment I did on the GateIn dev list a few months ago when it was debated: "Application registry is a business view of the applications, where applications such as portlet and gadget are provisioned. Application registry is originally populated from an XML deployment descriptor in a file configuration, so there is already a mechanism to populate it. The auto import feature is a development feature that is designed to help application developer to see his portlets in the composer when editing a layout. So I'm not sure if we want to keep or remove the auto import feature, but what I am certain is that we do not want to have *all* applications imported on every startup as it would be contradictory with the concept of of having an application registry where things are provisioned. For instance there are certain portlets that you don't want to see in the application registry when gatein is used in a non development mode. So we could remove the auto import feature in the future but not for an auto import mechanism that would auto import any portlets, it would need to be smarter and take in account development mode and production mode. At some point I thought about having a specific deployment descriptor (similar to portlet-instances.xml in JBoss Portal) that would be used to provision portlet instances. It's an idea that we should think about for a later revision of GateIn. But still it would be interesting to keep an "import" feature but instead of scoping it at the global level, it would be scoped at a finer granularity such as the web application level (that would import portlets from a specified portlet application that do not have an XML instance deployment descriptor inside). Another reason is that application registry is also about Gadgets, and today there is no way to detect the life cycle of a gadget so at some point the gadgets must be "imported" wether it's done by at boot time by the configuration mentionned above or by the auto import." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
