    Unable to set CMS preferences

    peterj

      Back in 2.4.0CR3, I was able to create a new instance of the CMSPortlet and set the indexPage preference to some other html page.

      With 2.4.0GA, and what I loaded from CVS this morning, I can no longer do this. Instead, when I click the Update button after entering in the new html page name, such as /deafult/project.html, I get a huge among of stack trace, part of which is shown:

          Some more information. I cannot change the preferences on any of the portlets that ship with the portal. Even if I create new instances. I tried changing a preference for the weather poertlet and got the same error.

          In 2.4.0.CR3, the compoundPortletId for the CMS portlet was local._1 and for the weather portlet was local._9. In 2.4.0.GA, the componentPortletIds are local.portal.CMSPortlet and local.samples.WeatherPortlet. The StatefulPortletInvoker.setProperties method throws an exception if the simple portletId does not start with an underscore.

            I am getting the same problem.

            Did you work out what was happening? I am hoping that since you posted two months ago you may have since worked it out and can save me some time.

              No, I have not. The problem is still ib 2.4.1-CR1. I have create a JIRA issues (probably should have doen this sooner!): http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1082

                It works in HEAD

                  That was just for the records ;)

                    Hi,

                    Check out the current head as of 10/18 and this problem is still there. If you log in as admin and try to change a portlet preference the above exception occurs. Is there a version that this is fixed in?

                    Tx

                      For the second time i did what was mentionned on the first topic: (with Subversion HEAD version)

                      Instead, when I click the Update button after entering in the new html page name, such as /deafult/project.html


                      And it worked fine with no stacktrace.

                      From your stack trace i cannot tell what is wrong.

                      Please try cleaning up your database and get a fresh checkout from SVN.

                        With a fresh SVN head from last night, I tried creating a new instance of the CMSPortlet. But the same problem existed and preferences could not be updated. There was however one portlet instance preference which COULD be updated "NewsPortletInstance2".

                        Here is the reason:

                        If you look at the PORTLET_REF column in the JBP_INSTANCE table, you will see that all of the values are local.*.*Portlet, except for NewsPortletInstance2, which is local._1. There is a reference to the underscore issue in the JIRA bug referenced below.

                        It turns out that if you look in portlet-samples.war/WEB-INF/portlet-instances.xml. NewsPortletInstance2 is the only one that has default preferences defined in the XML file.

                        So the fix for the CMSPortlet was to edit the portal-core.war/WEB-INF/portlet-instances.xml, and add a preferences section, recreate the database and restart.

                        <deployment>
                         <instance>
                         <instance-id>CMSPortletInstance</instance-id>
                         <portlet-ref>CMSPortlet</portlet-ref>
                         <preferences>
                         <preference>
                         <name>indexpage</name>
                         <value>/default/index.html</value>
                         </preference>
                         </preferences>
                         </instance>
                        </deployment>
                        


                        Now when looking at the JPB_INSTANCE table, the PORTLET_REF for CMSPortletInstance is local._2, and the preferences update worked.

                        However this is more of a workaround. The real fix would be to change the code which is looking for the underscore.

                          I tried in HEAD of trunk, you are probably in a different branch.

                            I was going to try this earlier but just now go aroung to it. Downloaded source from SVN at http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/portal/trunk/. Compiled using JDK 1.5.0_06, deployed to JBoss 4.0.4.GA, using MysSQL 5.0. (I like the new default theme, very clean.) Logged in as admin, went to Management Portlet, clicked on Instances, clicked on CMSPortletInstance, then clicked on the paper-with-pencil icon next to the indexpage preference. Changed the value to "default/project.html" and clicked on Update. Got an HTTP Status 500 page and a lot of stack trace in the console window. Here are excerpts:

                            Got several of these:

                            Notice once again the "Cannot configure producer offered portlets" error, which means that the portlet id still does not start with an underscore followed by a digit.

                              Ok, now i see the difference :)
                              You were talking about user preferences when i tried porlet instance preferences.

                              I will give it another try (my) tomorrow then

                                Now I am curious. How did you go about setting portlet instance preferences?

                                • 13. Re: Unable to set CMS preferences

                                  Through the management portlet.

                                  Select the instance, then click on "preferences" (i think) on the right side. You can modify the landing page of the CMS instance.

                                  I'm sorry for the confusion in this post.

                                    Now I really am confused. What you said you did sounds exactly like what I did.
