Portlet:namespace val changes on server restart. How to keep it constant?

Question

Hi -
I want to generate WinRunner test script, and want to know the IDs of a couple of UI components on a JSF JSP.
But JSF prefixes each component id with <portlet:namespace/> value. So, I tried to prefix the same value (got it using view source of the actual screen to test) to the components in my test script.
This works just fine, the way I want it to, but until the server is not restarted.
Once the server is restarted the value of the <portlet:namespace/> changes (for the same view in same jsp), thus my test script doesn't work.
Is this expected behavior that for the same view in jsp, the value of <portlet:namespace/> changes after server restart?
Is there a way to keep the value of <portlet:namespace/> constant for the same view even after server restart?
Expecting prompt feedback and will highly appreciate it.
Thanks
Gagan

The problem is still there if the jsp file is about inserting a new record
into the database.
If these parameters are gotten from the session, mutliple insertings will be
attempted when the portlet is refresh.
Maybe we can put some control flags in the session to judge the correct
behavior, but the method results the session full of parameters(control
flags).
Or is there any better design?

Alan,
You could use the session to put your parameters in instead of letting itride completely
on the request object. Although, your question is more than just makingthe content
reappear, it’s about holding state. The project that I am working on, theusers
decided that they want the page portlets to go back to the "normal" state,not the
"Maximized" view. So, I put a processor in between the internal.refreshwildcard
and the Preprocessor input processor so that all the portlets would beseen in their
"normal" state.
Good Luck

Hi All,
When I click page tabs in WLP, it will trigger a refresh event.
The portlet has a webflow with a refresh event whose destination is
lastContentUrl(referent-namespace is portal, cloned from portlet2.wf).
The question is when the page changed, the jsp files which use
request.getParameter() to get parameters will fail to fulfill what they
need because the event provide none parameter.
So that everytime page changed, these portlets will have quite strange
contents.
How to keep these content constant when page changed?
Sincerely,
Alan.
