Description

Why Jetspeed adds records in database when storing preferences in edit_defaults mode?

For example, I've changed preference 'entities' in portlet entity with id 'P-111c7f0db23-10032' through edit_defaults custom portlet mode. Yes, psml page was changed. But 3 records was inserted to PREFS_NODE and 2 records was inserted to PREFS_PROPERTY_VALUE:
to PREFS_NODE:
NODE_ID PARENT_NODE_ID NODE_NAME NODE_TYPE FULL_PATH CREATION_DATE MODIFIED_DATE
----------- -------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------
299112 299090 entities 1 /portlet_entity/P-111c7f0db23-10032/preferences/entities 2008-06-05 13:40:02.830 2008-06-05 13:40:02.830
299114 299112 size 1 /portlet_entity/P-111c7f0db23-10032/preferences/entities/size 2008-06-05 13:40:02.837 2008-06-05 13:40:02.837
299113 299112 values 1 /portlet_entity/P-111c7f0db23-10032/preferences/entities/values 2008-06-05 13:40:02.833 2008-06-05 13:40:02.833

to PREFS_PROPERTY_VALUE (2 entries except one!!!):
PROPERTY_VALUE_ID NODE_ID PROPERTY_NAME PROPERTY_VALUE CREATION_DATE MODIFIED_DATE
----------------- ----------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------
365458 299113 0 ;news;news_comment; 2008-06-05 13:40:02.847 2008-06-05 13:40:02.847
365574 299113 0 ;news;news_comment; 2008-06-05 13:40:23.737 2008-06-05 13:40:23.737

As you can see, both records added to PREFS_PROPERTY_VALUE are the same... It's error!
Why Jetspeed adds this entries to database?
When rendering pages Jetspeed uses preferences from psml, and ignores this database stored preferences.

Is it error?
