Way to multiplex events
-----------------------
Key: JBPORTAL-1603
URL:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1603
Project: JBoss Portal
Issue Type: Feature Request
Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
Affects Versions: 2.6 Final
Reporter: Andrew Oliver
When using the portal API it becomes apparent rapidly that you need a way to both send an
event and allow it to bubble as well as send events to multiple targets. Even the example
(
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/portal/trunk/core-samples/src/main/org/jbo...)
demonstrates this as the basic A portlet cannot maintain its own state in the radio button
as well as send it to the B portlet
(
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/portal/trunk/core-samples/src/main/org/jbo...).
This will result in application-scope session parameters throughout which is a kind of
anti-pattern but the only way it is workable. The situation is made worse with two target
portlets. It is possible that this is addressed in JSR-268, but at the moment there
doesn't appear to be a good JBP solution to this.
Ideally I could do something like return sendNewAndOld(origEvent, newEvents[]); this might
also be a "..." style method.
