Re: [wsrp-interop] When to clone Portlet

[Michael Freedman <Michael.Freedman@oracle.com>]

A portlet corresponds to a single persistence instance [i.e. a single customization
instance].  A portlet is cloned whenever a distinct customization instance
is needed.  By and large when this is occurs is left up to the consumer though
we give the consumer some capability for directing the producer when it may
be operating on customizations.  [I.e. As producers manage/process the "Edit"
mode we have capabilities for the consumer to indicate to the producer to
cloneOnWrite if that is the semantics the consumer requires.  Note: We put
clone in the PortletManagementInterface to allow for a simple expression
of the simpliest style of producer/portlets.  I.e. one where the producer/portlets
don't support any customization.  In this case you jsut have the proffered
portlets and cloning is never used.

I notice that only when a Producer supports the Portlet Management interface, the consumer has the option to clone the portlet.  So when does the consumer need to clone a portlet?
