Hi
Mike,
I need
some clarifications:
1.
personalization data - What does it mean that it can
be shared between multiple instances? do you mean instances of the same
portlet? if so, why is that a different instances, i.e. why should the consumer
request the exact same data twice? And how is that different from a cloned
instance?
2.
"You can request a portlet instance render a link reference to itself" -
Does that mean you ask the portlet for a URL that returns its content as markup?
I think this should be part of the meta-data, as it does not need to be truly
dynamic.
3. Why
should changes to the portlet template's settings not affect existing
instances? If the name of my company was change, I want the new name rendered in
ALL the instances.
Yossi.

Subject: [wsrp][interfaces]: Portal Usage
Scenario
I have attached a short document describing a
portal's possible usage pattern for portlets using the terms we discussed last
week. Please comment/annotate with new operations or suggested
operations to remove. Please don't annotate with questions intended to
clarify the behavior of the operation, send these separately. The goal for
this Thursday's meeting is to see if we can agree on a preliminary usage
pattern and collection of operations. Hopefully we can then move into
enumerating the questions we need to answer. In our discussion on
Thursday, I expect we will need to classify at least the operational aspects
of the usage scenario along two axes:
Axis 1: Is this a valid Portal operation?
Yes, we all agree this a valid operation
No, we all agree this is not a valid operation
Maybe, there is debate whether this is a valid operation.
Don't know, we need more information and discussion to understand the
operation before classifying it.
Axis 2: Should this operation be covered/enabled by our spec?
Yes, we all agree.
Yes, but it should be addressed in a later revision.
No, we all agree.
Maybe, there is debate whether we should address this.
Don't know, we need more information to decide.
It might be
useful if each of you did your own classification (assuming of course the
usage scenario isn't grossly controversial).
