Weblogic portal 4.0 problem

Question

I am using user management tag with weblogic portal 4.0(sp2)
Problem is that when i do
<um:getProfile scope="session" profileKey="<%=userName%>" />
<um:setProperty propertyName="firstname" propertySet="userProfile" value="<%=firstName%>" />
it inserts another row in PROPERTY_VALUE table , whereas it should update the current property(firstname).
This is happening randomly, not always.
Any sugestions are welcome.
Thanx

Hi,
Webflows are scoped to a web-application (a web-app is defined in the Servlet
specification - http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/ ). An InputProcessor is part
of webflow, so it is scoped to the web-app. You need to put the class where the web
application classloader can find it. Give the servlet spec a quick look...in
chapter 9, "Web Applications", it mentions the WEB-INF/classes directory for servlet
and utility classes.
Put your class in the proper directory strucure (according to its package name)
under <portal 4.0-install-dir>/applications/myJ2EEApp/myWebApp/WEB-INF/classes/...
You can see that webflows are scoped to a web-application (and Pipelines are
scoped to a J2EE application) at
http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs40/wflopipe/overview.htm#1032978 , "The Relationship
Between Webflows and Applications". FYI, a J2EE application can be made up of many
web applications (and EJB jar files). See java.sun.com for the J2EE specification,
which defines a J2EE application.
