[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - can't access preference at runtime

Hi, I want to create different instances of same portlet depending upon preferences so I put name XYZ in portlet-instance.xml And try to get value by String pref = null; Request.getPreferences().getValue("name", pref); System.out.println(pref); It shows null Why? The code works if i put preferences in portlet.xml. can i put preferences in portlet-instances.xml and fetch it's value at runtime ? When i look at newsportlet example i found expire prefrence at both places portlet-instance.xml as well as portlet.xml ? why is it so?
