So, just to be completely clear, in the case that the metadata is not
updated in any fashion by the producer, if I were to call
getPortletDescription() with a UserContext containing all of the
Producers' user categories, I would be guaranteed to receive the same
structure as if I had called getServiceDescription(). Correct?=20

Thanks for your persistence ... sometimes as we get busy we hope that
others will supply the answers :}=20
The data in GetPortletDescriptionResponse is the same that is included
in the array returned by getServiceDescription() with a few caveats. The
data is allowed to change (portlet data updated, user access rights,
etc) and most Producers will only return data from
getServiceDescription() for their POPs while getPortletDescription() can
be invoked against any portletHandle.=20

[wsrp-interfaces] Questions regarding getPortletDescription()
=20
=20

I haven't received a reply to my message I sent out last week, so I
thought I would try to resend it. If you have any answers to the
questions below, please reply. Thanks.=20
=20
=20
=20
I have the following questions regarding the getPortletDescription()
operation:=20
=20
1. How does the data returned in the PortletDescriptionResponse
relate to the portlet description contained within the
ServiceDescription? Must they be identical? Or, can the producer
change the data based on the user context. For instance, could the
producer not specify a particular supported mode if the user is not an
admin?=20
2. If the answer to #1 is that they can be different, then is
there a way to ensure, when calling this method, that the
PortletDescription returned would be equal to that in the
ServiceDescription? Perhaps by sending all of the possible User
Categories?=20
3. If the answer to #1 is that they must be the same, then is the
only use of the UserContext attribute to allow the producer to throw an
AccessDenied Fault? Will passing all user categories avoid this?=20
=20
Essentially, I'm trying to understand the intended use of
getPortletDescription() and if it can be used as an optimization to
update portlet meta data without having to retrieve the full service
description.=20
=20
Thanks for the information.=20

I have the following questions regarding the getPortletDescription() =

1. </span></font><font size=3D2 =
face=3DArial><span
style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>How does the data returned =
in the
PortletDescriptionResponse relate to the portlet description contained =
within
the ServiceDescription? Must they be identical? Or, can the
producer change the data based on the user context. For instance, =
could
the producer not specify a particular supported mode if the user is not =
an
admin?</span></font> <font size=3D2 face=3Dsans-serif><span =

2. </span></font><font size=3D2 =

they can
be different, then is there a way to ensure, when calling this method, =
that the
