Subject: Re: [wsrp-comment] JSR286's MULTI-PHASE render not supported in WSRP 2.0



Yet another option ...

6. Define an extension to MarkupContext to carry <head> info
 - pros:
   * Does not move around location of existing items - fallbacks to current spec when not supported
   * Does not involve additional network roundtrips
 - cons:
   * ??

Subject
[wsrp-comment] JSR286's MULTI-PHASE render not supported in WSRP 2.0





Recent drafts of JSR-286 have included the concept of multi-phase
render. This allows a portlet to populate headers (including cookies)
and add elements to the <head> (such as script, style and meta elements)
section of the surrounding page.

WSRP 2.0 currently does not support this. There are a number of ways we
can support this:

  1. Like JSR-286 defines
        1. Portlet Descriptsion [O] boolean isMultPhaseRenderSupported
        2. MimeRequest [O] QName renderPhase
               * wsrp:head
               * wsrp:body
         * Requires structural changes to spec late in the spec
         * Allows full independent caching of head an body separately
  2. As discussed on the call: make the producer call the 286 portlet
     twice and make the consumer cache head info
        1. Consumer calls getMarkup on the portlet before rendering its
           headers and <head> section
        2. The producer calls the 286 portlet twice
              1. for HEAD
              2. for BODY
        3. The getMarkupResponse contains both the <head> and <body>
           sections as well as any headers
        4. The consumer sets the headers, renders the head and caches
           the body
        5. The consumer later renders the body
         * Requires no WSRP spec changes (although some notes would be
           helpful)
         * Need to bend the no <head>/<body> tag rule
         * Requires the consumer to cache markup
         * Does not allow independent caching of head and body
  3. As discussed with Stefan: Send a WSRP defined event
        1. The consumer sends a wsrp:getHead event
        2. The response MUST contain a updateResponse with
           markupContext populated
        3. The consumer MUST interpret this as the head content and NOT
           the normal content
         * Requires little spec change
         * Requiring markup as a response to an event seems odd (as
           compared to the rest of the spec), same for special
           interpretation on the consumer
         * Allows full independent caching of head an body separately
  4. Add a well known resource name (e.g. wsrp:head)
        1. The consumer calls getResource() during head render phase
           which returns head and headers
         * This would require advertisement of the head section
           (similar to solution #1)
         * Allows full independent caching of head an body separately
  5. Do nothing/use vendor dependent extensions

For what its worth: BEA Weblogic Portal already supports multi-phase
render as an extension called getRenderDependencies(). This has worked
fairly well for us so far. However we would prefer to interoperate with
3rd party consumers and producers.

Thanks,

Nate
