Re: [wsrp] GetPortletProperties associativity

Subbu,

My concern is not with the uniqueness of a Portlet, it's with the
uniqueness of the associated Properties. As I read the wsrp spec. on
PortletProperties I couldn't help but think this was a parallel of Java
Portlet Preferences (which is user specific, and would also be in-play if
the Producer Portlet was in fact a Java Portlet). I guess I just wanted
someone to confirm that these data sets are in fact unrelated...

i.e. When a customization of the PortletProperties is made then any user
having access to the portletHandle will see the effects of those
PortletProperties.

Thanks

I don't think portlet properties can be used to describe uniqueness of a
portlet (POP or CCP). As far as the protocol is concerned, portletHandle
describes the uniqueness of a portlet, but an implementation can use any
other protocol-carried data to scope persistent state. If you're asking
whether a producer implementation can use other attributees (such as
user context, possibly along with portletHandle) as a key in some
database to store portlet properties, I think the answer is yes. In any
case, such decisions are not visible across the protocol.
