Initial WSRP Producer configuration

[christoph.hennes]

Hello,

we are using EPP 5.1 with remote portlets. During deployments, our consumer portal is completly fresh installed. Therefore, previously installed WSRP producer configuration is lost and JBoss falls back to wsrp-consumers-config.xml. But unfortunately, during refresh of the newly created consumer, the producer complains about a duplicate registration which is not solveable at the moment (see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNWSRP-208).

Therefore we have tried to disable the need for registration on the producer side in wsrp-producer-config.xml. But it seems that JBoss ignores the "requiresRegistration" attribute and always sets this property to 'true' during initial producer setup.

I have three questions about this:

1.) At the moment we have to put our 'wsrp-consumers-config.xml' always under 'conf' into the classpath. The location configured in

    'gatein.ear\02portal.war\WEB-INF\conf\wsrp\wsrp-configuration.xml'

seems to be ignored during default setup. Is this correct?

2.) Why is the registrationRequired attribute not configurable in the default configuration (wsrp-producer-config.xml)? This would avoid further manual steps after portal setup.

3.) If a DuplicateRegistrationException is thrown on the producer side, would it be possible to simple ignore this exception at the consumer side and proceed as the registration itself seems to be ok?

Best Regards,

Christoph

1. It is still processed while running GateIn in JBoss as the path to wsrp-configuration.xml is included in WEB-INF/conf/configuration.xml

<import>war:/conf/common/portlet-container-configuration.xml</import>

   <import profiles="jboss">war:/conf/wsrp/wsrp-configuration.xml</import>

   <import>war:/conf/common/logs-configuration.xml</import>

1. The file itself is processed, but the consumer file location property is not used. If you take a look into:

org.gatein.portal.wsrp.WSRPServiceIntegration

the variable consumersConfigLocation is just a local variable which is lost after the constructor call and org.gatein.wsrp.consumer.registry.xml.XMLConsumerRegistry always falls back to the default location.

2. + 3.: Can you say something to this questions?

Best regards,

Christoph

I am going to look into it. Note however that several issues pertaining to producer configuration have been fixed in the upcoming release of the WSRP component. See https://issues.jboss.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+GTNWSRP+AND+fixVersion+%3D+%222.0.1-GA%22+AND+status+%3D+Resolved+ORDER+BY+priority+DESC&mode=hide for more details about what has been fixed already.

Also note that since you are a JBoss EPP customer, you should probably use the customer portal to open issues so that they can be looked at faster.

Thank you!

Hi Chris,

thank you for your answer. I have already spoken with our contact person and will open issues for this.

At the moment I have implemented a workaround; a special start class will set the required flag to our needs. Therefore we do not need manual configuration currently. But nevertheless it would be nice to have this feature.

Currently I am struggling with http://community.jboss.org/thread/168290?tstart=0 (Remote portlets page setup) and it would be nice if you would take a look to it already. I will open an issue for that, too, as it is very important for us.

Hi Christoph,

I will look at the second issue as well and comment there. I think the upcoming release of the WSRP should address the issues you're currently facing but it would be nice if you could check for yourself and let me know if all the issues you've encountered have been addressed.

Thanks.
