It appears that the preference is saved since the portlet is unavailable to that user after a restart of the portal server. 2006-06-13 13:20:15,781 ERROR [org.jboss.portlet.news.NewsPortlet] Fatal Error reading/parsing XML Source. 2006-06-13 13:20:15,781 ERROR [org.jboss.portlet.news.NewsPortlet] The portlet threw an exception javax.portlet.PortletException: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: www.cnn.com at org.jboss.portlet.news.NewsPortlet.doView(Unknown Source) at javax.portlet.GenericPortlet.doDispatch(GenericPortlet.java:167) at javax.portlet.GenericPortlet.render(GenericPortlet.java:407) at org.jboss.portal.portlet.PortletContainer.invokeRender(PortletContainer.java:521) at org.jboss.portal.portlet.PortletContainer.dispatch(PortletContainer.java:433) at org.jboss.portal.server.app.ComponentInvocation.dispatch(ComponentInvocation.java:79)
