Hi there,

We've been experimenting with the use of Adobe Flex inside of our
Jetspeed-2.1.2 portal in order to get some rich internet functionality
that we've wrestled with implementing in Ajax.

Everything is working like a charm except for preferences.  We can get
preferences out of the portal and pass them into Flex using flash vars, but we can't figure out how to get the preferences back in to the Portal without doing a form submit via JavaScript, which will cause the page to
reload, which is exactly what we're trying to avoid.

Any ideas?


That seems interesting! Are you planning on contributing your solution to Apache? Getting some useful functionality between portlets and flex would be a great addition to Portals Bridges

The Jetspeed Desktop does form updates without actually refreshing the page You may want to look into the desktop, although it may be a little complicated to figure out

There is also the Jetspeed XML API, but we do not have a XML API for updating preferences, yet...
I'd like to propose something like

http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/ajaxapi?action=updateprefs&id=ps-1003&prefs=pref1,pref2,pref3&values=one,two,three

Although we may need to rethink the encoding of the parameters...
