portelt namespace encoding

[geeta lalchandani]

so far i was in the impression that the portletApi:encodenamespace encodes the parameter, based on the portletid. but this scenario proves that its not only based on the portletid.. but also follows some other logic...

i have a portlet that conditional includes either a.jsp or b.jsp. I have a variable var on both the jsp. the variable is encoded... but then the encoding is different on both of them..

also.. wondering.. how are the variables in the themes encoded??

Hi Geetu,

I hope this caters to your requirement.
But if i have the following components in my portal page then i use the following to retrieve the id.

view<portlet:namespace/>:" + formID+ ":rowValueId"

Best Regards,
Pallavi

Which portlet id are we talking about? The id in the portlet.xml file, or the internal id of the portal server?

Remember, the same portlet can appear on a page twice. Data encoded by one instance should not be visible to the other instance.

From the JavaDoc:

The encodeURL method may include the session ID and other portal/portlet-container specific information into the URL. If encoding is not needed, it returns the URL unchanged.

So, it looks like the encoding is left up the the vendor. But as long as it works, we shouldn't worry about how it works, should we? All faith must be blind faith.
