[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - I cant' graphically wire two events with different names but

[csantos]

I cant' graphically wire two events that have different names but their payload is equal (same <value-type> in portlet.xml)


Description:
I have created two portlets: portletA and portletB, each one in its own WAR file (testing purposes)

When I click in a certain link in portletA, I want an event to be sent to portletB.
Both events have the same payload (<value-type>), but their qnames are different:

portlet.xml (portletA):

  |   ...
  |         <supported-publishing-event>
  |             <qname>a:senderName</qname>
  |         </supported-publishing-event>
  |     </portlet>
  | 
  |     <event-definition>
  |         <qname>a:senderName</qname>
  |         <value-type>java.lang.String</value-type>
  |     </event-definition>
  |   ...
  | 


portlet.xml (portletB):

  |   ...
  |         <supported-processing-event>
  |             <qname>a:remitente</qname>
  |         </supported-processing-event>
  |     </portlet>
  |     <event-definition>
  |         <qname>a:remitente</qname>
  |         <value-type>java.lang.String</value-type>
  |     </event-definition>
  | 

As you can see, portletA publishes the event senderName and portletB processes remitente.

I've carefully read Chapter 8 of the JBoss Portal Reference Manual, and I understand that I should be able to wire the event senderName and 
remitente, so when portletA produces the event, portletB receives it.

I create a page in the default portal and add to it portletA and portletB.
Then I go to the Coordination section of the default page, but the Event wirings section contains:
No available events. Cannot create new event wirings. 


Am I doing something wrong, or is a bug in the product?

(Some of you might think that if I'm developing both portlets, I can place them in the same .War file. But I am interested in developing a portlet that interacts with portlets not developed by me)

Thank you.
