[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBPORTAL-1603) Way to multiplex events

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.
