Re: [wsrp] spec-2.0-draft-05:defined events

Good point, I'll look to add clarifying
language in the spec. The intent of the onLoad event is that it is the
first event a portlet will receive. In the case of a portlet where the
first message is a pbia invocation, this gets a little odd. 

I think your first option would fail
the intent by not having the onLoad event be the first interaction with
the portlet. In particular, it at least should be before the precessing
of other events.

Your second option violates the three
step character of the protocol unless one views the missing getMarkup invocation
as equivalent to having hit a cache. I think this may be the preferred
option, but the spec should explicitly point out this sequence. Do others
agree?

[wsrp] spec-2.0-draft-05:defined
events

Hi Rich,

when are the pre-defined events in 6.11 supposed to be delivered to the

portlets?

E.g. when is onLoad delivered. Say the first interaction with this 

portlet is through an action link, what is the execution order?

1. performBlockingInteraction

2. handleEvent (events resulting from the action)

3. handleEvent (onLoad)

or

1. handleEvent (onLoad)

2. performBlockingInteraction

3. handleEvent (events resulting from the action)

the later one seems to be suggested by the current spec text to me, but

would be a different programming pattern then before where the action is

processed first.
