Re: [wsrp-wsia] [I#124] concept of window ID (JSR168)

[Rich Thompson <richt2@us.ibm.com>]

My understanding is that JSR168 exposes a windowID to portlets so they can
namespace multiple instances of themselves within a shared session. WSRP
exposes no such concept. This seems like a particular Producer to entity
issue. Key question for me is whether means are provided for the Producer
to supply the functionality. Obvious choices include:
1. Producer manages creating a unique id and encodes it in the refHandle
for subsequent invocations.
2. For JSR168 Producers not using refHandles, use the fact that JSR168
Producers are going to set requiresCookieSupport to ’true’. In addition to
the JSessionID cookie that will be shared by all portlets in a portlet
application, use a portlet specific cookie to store this unique id
(Producer still creates/manages the id).
