Re: [wsrp-wsia] [change request #201] PortletDescription applies toclones

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

A couple of comments:

1. I would find it weird for any cloned Portlet to not share the 
PortletDescription of the source for the clone. Is there a use case for 
them not sharing this metadata?
2. I would not want to introduce a difference between clones that depends 
on the method by which the clone was produced. This seems to add 
complexity without value.

PortletDescription applies to clones


Document: Spec
Section: 5.1.11 and 6.3.3
Page/Line: 21/29
New text: When a producer clones a portlet, using the lazy mechanism 
described in section 6.3.3., the following values MUST be the same as the 
original portlet's description: markupTypes[]; groupID; userCategories[]; 
userProfileItems[]; usesMethodGet; defaultMarkupSecure; 
userContextStoredInSession; templatesStoredInSession; 
hasUserSpecificState; doesURLtemplateProcessing. Portlets explicitly 
created via createPortlet() do not have this restriction (call 
getPortletDescription() after clone()).

Reason: getPortletDescription is in the (optional) portlet management not 
the (required) serviceDescription factor. We could move it and force a 
consumer call to getPortletDescription().
