[[exo-portlet-container]] eXo Portlet Container 2.0 RC4 (AJAX support)

[Sandy Pérez González <sperezgonza@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear,

I am writing because I am testing the RC4 of eXo Platform Portlet
Container 2.0. Just now I am focusing on testing the AJAX support. It
works fine, thanks for this good tool, but I have a doubt. The portlet
specification says that portlet fragment served by "serveResource"
method could be HTML, XML, JSON and so on. If my "serveResource" method
returns HTML all work fine but I am having some problems when it returns
XML. That is, the following code works fine.

// It is a short version of the code with some content omitted
public void serveResource(request, response) {
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        ?
}

But the following code does not work.

// It is a short version of the code with some content omitted
public void serveResource(request, response) {
        response.setContentType("text/xml");
        ?
}

In the portlet.xml file, I had both mime types declared.

?
<supports>
        <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
        <portlet-mode>view</portlet-mode>
</supports>
<supports>
        <mime-type>text/xml</mime-type>
        <portlet-mode>view</portlet-mode>
</supports>
?

I have also tried with other mime types for xml (e.g. application/xml,
text/xml-external-parsed-entity, etc.) but none of them work.

If I try to print the supported mime types using code. That is,
printing the result of request.getResponseContentTypes(), it only
prints "text/html".

But, if I change the portlet.xml as follows

?
<supports>
        <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
        <portlet-mode>view</portlet-mode>
</supports>
<supports>
        <mime-type>image/jepg</mime-type>
        <portlet-mode>view</portlet-mode>
</supports>
?

It prints both mime types "text/html, image/jepg".

So, I think the container accepts only certain mime types. I am not
sure if I am doing something wrong or this is the correct behaviour of
the container, if that?s the case, is there an XML mime type accepted
by the container?

I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance.
