WSRP Producer and Sessions Not Working

[fattymelt]

I have an existing JSR-168 portlet that I deployed on JBoss Portal 2.4.1 (installed from JBoss Portal + JBoss AS 2.4.1-SP1 bundle on Mac OSX) as a remotable portlet so I could use it as a producer in a WSRP scenario.

When I use the portlet within the JBoss portal (not remotable), the session data is kept and the mechanism works fine.

When I consume the portlet with another portal (Weblogic in my test case), the session data is not kept.

I have tried to find documentation regarding this issue, but can not. I'm wondering if there is any configuration or extra coding I need to allow this functionality.

Is anyone familiar with this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I should add that my portlet uses the "standard"

PortletSession session = request.getPortletSession();

and

session.setAttribute("foo","bar");

to handle sessions. I've been reading a lot about JBoss WSRP using cookies to handle sessions. Maybe I need to code differently?

There is indeed an issue with BEA as a consumer. A JIRA issue has been created for that and a solution has been found (thanks to the collaboration of fattymelt, trying my fixes live on his setup) :
