If i understand what you are doing, this is the expected behavior. Now if you want to reset the state on each page refresh, try this (with JBoss Portal 2.6.5 only): Uncomment: <!-- depends-list-element>portal:service=Interceptor,type=Command,name=CleanNS</depends-list-element --> In: jboss-portal-2.6.5.GA/server/default/deploy/jboss-portal.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml Then restart And please let me know if that gives the behavior you expected.
