Session.APPLICATION_SCOPE in GateIn

[michmess]

Hello to everybody, first post here.

I've written a couple of portlets wich work well in JBoss Portal 2.7 and Liferay, but I've some problems in GateIn.

The portlets are all in the same .war, and I use the APPLICATION_SCOPE to pass values from one portlet to the other.

In GateIn I always get null values:

Portlet A sets the value

portletSession.setAttribute("var","value",PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE)

Portlet A can read this value

portletSession.getAttribute("var",PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE)

returns "value"

Portlet B can't access this data

portletSession.getAttribute("var",PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE)

returns null

Thank you for your help, and sorry for my English as it's not my native tongue.

Regards

Mich

This is most likely related to this bug which was fixed last week https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GTNPORTAL-1118

If you are running the Tomcat version of GateIn you will need to edit conf/server.xml and add emptySessionPath="true" to the connector (http://fisheye.jboss.org/browse/gatein/portal/trunk/server/tomcat/patch/src/main/tomcat/conf/server.xml?r1=376&r2=2751)

If you are running the JBoss version of GateIn you will need to edit the server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/context.xml to include <SessionCookie path="/"/>

(http://fisheye.jboss.org/browse/gatein/portal/trunk/server/jboss/patch-ear/src/main/jboss/server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/context.xml?r=2751)

The next update of GateIn will already contain these fixes. Let me know if this fixes your problem or not.
