Description

Is it possible, that setRenderParameter in one portlet crashes the action url in another portlet on the same page ?

We have the following scenario:

• PORTLET A and PORTLET B on same page, both with forms and action url in the velocity template like:
  #set ($action = $renderResponse.createActionURL())
  $action.setParameter('action','doSearch')
  <form action="$action" ...

• PORTLET B sets a Render Parameter in its processAction():
  actionResponse.setRenderParameter("cmd", action);

• PORTLET A nd B are rendered, PORTLET B picks up the render parameter, ok

• BUT: On button click in PORTLET A the processAction() method of PORTLET A is NOT called anymore !
  Instead PORTLET A only enters it's doView method in the render phase.

If PORTLET B does NOT set the render parameter then PORTLET A calls it's action method properly !

Here are our jetspeed settings (override.properties). We use PSML in the database:

merge.portal.parameters.with.portlet.parameters=true
merge.portal.parameters.before.portlet.parameters=true
portalurl.relative.only=false
portal.statistics.logToDatabase=false
portal.audit.enable=false
psml.template.folder = /_user/template/
jetui.customization.method = server
