[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBPORTAL-1321) In a JSF portlet, reading preferences returns various values

In a JSF portlet, reading preferences returns various values ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBPORTAL-1321 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1321 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 2.6.Beta1 Environment: AS 4.0.5, Portal 2.6 beta 1 Reporter: Adam Warski Fix For: 2.6.CR1 Attachments: pref-test-bin.tar.gz, pref-test.tar.gz, preftest.tar.gz In a JSF portlet, during various phases of the request lifecycle, I read a portlet preference, and get different values. More precisely: * I get the default value of the preference (as written in portlet.xml), during the initial phases (this value is incorrect) * I get the proper value, from the portlet instance definition (as written in portlet-instances.xml), during later phases This has many weird implications, like jsf actions seeming not to work etc. I attach a sample portlet in both binary and source versions. When deployed, go to the "testfacelets" page, and click on the "Invoke action" link, and observe output of the server. You'll see that in the beginning, when the "pref1" preference is read, it returns a value from project.xml - 0. Later, the proper value from portlet-instances.xml, namely 1.
