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

[mohan_chaudhari]

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?

Thanks in advance
