| Hello,
Here is a test portlet I have made in order to emphasize the problem of puma Group attributes persistence. Unlike the puma User attributes persistence which is working well, it seems that, even if we can add attributes to puma Group and retrieve during th
e living time of the Group object, we can't make them persist in the portal database (one more time, it's working with the puma User). That's why I want to know if it is possible and how or is this a bug of the puma API.
Morevover here are the steps for my test :
1. Install the portlet and add it to a page
2. Display the portlet page : Test attribute values must be null if it is the first time you do it
3. Go to Edit Mode
4. Come back to view mode : Test attribute values must have changed to test1, test2, ...
package portlet;
import java.io.*;
import com.ibm.wps.puma.*;
import com.ibm.wps.puma.beans.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.naming.directory.*;
import org.apache.jetspeed.portlet.*;
/**
* The problem is not really the possibility to add attributes to users or groups
* but it deals with the data persistence. To test it, you have to go to the edit mode and then
* come back to the view mode. The edit mode must add the attribute and make him persist
* thanks to the sync method. And the problem is that it is working for users and not for groups.
