Portal, Book and pages enumeration

Question

Hi, I´m having a bit of a problem using Bea Workshop 8.1.5.
I´m building a Portal which has inside books and pages.
The pages can hold inside books.
The problem is that I ´ve using the methods
DesktopBackingContext dbc=DesktopBackingContext.getDesktopBackingContext(this.getRequest());
BookBackingContext books=dbc.getBookBackingContextRecursive(rama);
List lista=books.getPages(); //Here is the list of the books and pages that it contains.
where "rama" is a String containing the Definition label of the book where I want to start the enumeration.
If the portlet that contains the .jpf ,where the previous code is, is placed outside the main book, it works perfectly but if that same portlets is placed inside the main book o the books that it contains it won´t work.
I debugged it and it seems that this
books.getPages(); is returning null (as it has no books or pages, but it does!).
Does anybody knows what I am missing here?
Best
Alejo

Answer 1

You need to set the portal property Tree Optimization to false, this way you force the portal to create instances of all the trees but you´ll loose performace.
