[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Page navigational state update

[julien@jboss.com]

Concerning the various issues discussions with respect to the page nav state, there is one possibility that we could examine :

The portal core maintains a copy of the page structure when it is first used which means storing for all windows of a page a copy of the position and the region it belongs. 

The consequences are :

1/ if the shared structure is modified then the change is not reflected because the user has a copy of that which is categorized so far more than as a bug than a feature.

2/ the only benefit today is to allows anonymous users to perform drag and drop changes for the duration of the portal session (in which the page nav state is stored so far). We are also inclined to remove that bug/feature.

So we could try to remove the copy mechanism and it seems that it would satisfy to of our needs (although 2 can be achieved without it).

What do you think ? I encourage you to look at the code which does that and provide feedback about it.
