[TODO - DEVELOPMENT] - Auto deployment

by jamesbilla

I have eclipse europa with WTP plugin. My local server is jboss 4.0.3. When ever i make changes to my java files/jsp or anything else in IDE and start the local server, my changes are not deployed into local server automatically. I am manually copy pasting from work space into server's deploy folders. Any idea what could be wrong? How to fix it? It is setting in jboss or in eclipse? config file is wrong? Thanks in advance.

[Design of JBoss Portal] - Re: Portlet Instance configuration with nice GUI

We are getting in more and more confusion. edit_defaults, is an optional mode defined by the spec, that a portal could support. It's just a different view of the portlet. What Julien proposed is that when you click in the admin portlet (implemented with JSF but that doesn't matter) to change the preferences instead of always showing a generic way of changing preferences, you could override that behavior by providing your own view (the edit_defaults mode). About the other part, do you really want anyone to be able to edit preferences for everybody ?

The admin portlet in 2.6.5sp1 = JSF admin portlet? Does that currently supports EDIT_DEFAULT? "However, even with admin mode, uncheck users could not change the perferences, this is because all perferences are set to read-only if the user role is uncheck. I tried specifying read-only to false in portlet.xml, but still not success. " In very simple words, ADMIN mode could not change portlet perferences unless current user is logged in. For a user that is not logged in and attempt to change any perference in the ADMIN mode, it would result in a ReadOnlyException.

Thank you all for the reply. Actually, i have attempted a workaround solution but with no success. My approach is as follow: Use portlet admin mode in JBoss portal, and enable the admin mode for uncheck user role. It is possible to hide the admin mode from all users apart from admin, to do it, just simply hide all portlet decorations by using empty renderer or write a custom empty renderer. However, even with admin mode, uncheck users could not change the perferences, this is because all perferences are set to read-only if the user role is uncheck. I tried specifying read-only to false in portlet.xml, but still not success. So julien do you mean that I could use EDIT_DEFAULT mode with JSF portlet bridge?? Anyway, i will give that a go.

I think i see what you both mean, and i think you are slightly diverging. Michael says that preferences are not stored per portlet instance but per user, that's only if you use the Portlet spec API. The portlet spec API doesn't define an API to modify portlet instance preferences. It means that we would need to open that internal API to a public API. Using this API, the first cheap solution would be to use the EDIT mode with that internal API (see portal-admin for how to do it). (As of now you cannot secure a portlet mode for specific roles, so that would let anyone changing the preference for everybody, this is work in progress. You can then use isUserInRole to show part of the GUI for portlet-instance changes, but if your users will still see the edit button, then a blank screen (unless you let them override that preference with a user specific one for example)) To use Julien's (good) idea you would use the same API and create your GUI, you would then be able to change the portlet instance preference from the admin portlet (which can be secured) using the GUI defined by the portlet itself. Overall i think it's a good idea that should go in Jira View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4163999#4163999 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4163999
