NPE in PortletManagementHandler.getPortletProperties

[cpage]

Hi,

I use JBoss 4.2.3 + JBossPortal 2.6.6 (with WSRP).

In an admin portlet i add a property to an instance with InstanceDefinition.setProperties(PropertyChange[]) so this property is not defined in the portlet preferences.

In another admin portlet, when i want to read this new property, i have a NullPointerException in getPortletProperties from PortletManagementHandler.

I look in the sources and the NPE is in this code (prefInfo is null) :

Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry)entries.next();
key = (String)entry.getKey();
value = (Value)entry.getValue();
prefInfo = info.getPreferences().getPreference(key);
displayName = prefInfo.getDisplayName();

Something i made is wrong or it is a bug ?

I guess I need to look into it but adding preferences to a remote portlet shouldn't be possible since only the producer can do so i.e. the consumer doesn't have any control about the preferences/properties a portlet exposes via WSRP. The only thing that can be done is read/set values.

That said, Portal should handle the scenario better. Can you please open a JIRA for it, please?

a JIRA has been created:

I haven't read carefully the WSRP documentation, i should not create new properties on a remote portlet :-)
