LO36124: PPR IS FORCED TO USE AJAX SERVLET ON PORTAL 6.0

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• ISSUE
  PPR requires AJAX servlet on Portal 6.0
    A bug in Portal prevents WPF from using the single-portlet
    refresh API to get the HTML for just a portlet, so we use a
    servlet to do Ajax/partial-page refresh requests.  You can
  only use JSR-168 (or Native   API) calls to build "real Portal
  URLs" from a portlet request
    (not a servlet one) so URLs inside a region loaded using
    partial-page refresh are also servlet-based ones.
  
  SYMPTOMS
    Portal specific URLs don't work.  When URLs are used,they
    casue the portlet to take over the portal page.
  
  ENVIRONMENT
    WPF 6.1
  
  RECREATION
    Create a model that uses PPR to refresh a page region.
    Add a button inside the region that does not use PPR, but
    uses the default post-action behavior.
    Add a portlet adapter.
    Add the portlet to a portal page.
    Click the button.
    The portlet takes over the portal page.
  
    The same problem occurs if a refresh region contains links
    used for wiring.
