Sounds good -- thanks Ryan.

Just to clarify though -- I'm not necessarily suggesting that these changes 
actually get applied as is -- I'm really more looking to start a discussion 
around this as one possible solution to the problem.  This is the simplest set 
of changes I could come up with to get moduleId's into common container, but 
with it comes some additional baggage in the form of new nested callbacks when 
navigating a gadget.  

A better way to resolve it might be to refactor the rendering process further 
to do any potentially XHR causing work (like fetching gadget metadata and 
gadget tokens) in the same place during rendering to eliminate the deeper nest 
of chained callbacks that the current patch introduces, but of course that's 
more work with more significant changes and I'm not sure which way the 
community would prefer to go with this.

Looking forward to feedback and discussion from Stanton and others.

Jesse, I know Stanton has been looking at some of this code lately and might be 
a good person to take a look at your suggested changes.  He is out on vaca 
until next Tuesday but I can see if he can take a look when he gets back.

Review request for shindig.


Changes
-------

I've attached an updated patch which has been realigned with the current 
shindig trunk.

More details can be found in the review description and previous comments.

I would very much appreciate some feedback on this patch.

Thanks!


Summary
-------

Common container currently doesn't include the siteId (moduleId) in any of it's 
security token processing/handling (all security tokens in common container 
currently get minted with a moduleId of 0).

This patch is a first (rough) cut at getting moduleId's into security tokens.  
I am posting it somewhat prematurely to solicit feedback before I invest any 
more time in finishing up the last bits.  Here are the things that I know are 
still left to do:

-- Update unit tests on both the JS and Java side -- currently I've been 
building and deploying with skipTests=true...
-- Figure out a strategy for dealing with preloaded gadgets.  The current 
auth-refresh process maintains tokens for preloaded gadgets, however the preoad 
JS functions just take a gadgetUrl so there is no concept of a siteId 
(moduleId) for them at this time.
-- Figure out how to get the token that is included in the original iframe to 
include a moduleId.  I think the token in the iframe likely comes back in the 
metadata request (although I haven't looked yet to verify), which means that 
the call to the metadata service would likely need to include the moduleId as 
well.

I'd greatly appreciate any comments people have on the patch and strategies for 
dealing with the outstanding issues noted above.

Thanks!
