[Gridsphere-users] portlet extension problem

[Mona Wong-Barnum]

	Ok I found the problem...and it makes sense now but was confusing as  
I was trying to debug this so I wanted to share it w/ others...

	If you have:

public class A extends ActionPortlet {...}

public class B extends A {...}

	while this may be fine for general Java, it will not work in  
GridSphere when both classes are in portlet.xml...I'd like to spout a  
good technical reason but I don't have one so I'll share my  
suspicion...one portlet cannot extend another because GridSphere  
calls B.init(), it will "clash" w/ A.init() and you'll get the errors  
that I got...something about GridSphere cannot initialize.

     consumption as a path to happiness,
     you'll find that you have all kinds of
     freedom and time.  It's like a deal you

     greed for freedom."
