Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2
About generated file names
On some application servers, there is a length limit on path names (including the file name) of 255 characters.
IBM® WebSphere Portlet Factory generates JSP files and method classes based on the model name and any profiles applied to the model. In most cases, the file name lengths are well under 255 characters. However, when you use the model as a portlet in nested portals, the generated file could exceed the file length limitation.
To prevent the generation of file names that are too long, WebSphere Portlet Factory converts the profile names to a unique ID. You can determine the file length at which WebSphere Portlet Factory converts the profile name portion of a generated file name to an ID by setting the bowstreet.profiles.maxKeyLength property in the WEB-INF/config/cluster.properties file. The default value is 60.
Note: The maxKeyLength does not refer to the length of the whole file name, just the length of the profile name portion of it. As a result, set the maxKeyLength low enough to account for the portlet name, widget name, model name, and any other parts of the path to the generated file. For example, the class generated for a model named datatablepage that is used as a portlet in a nested portal could have the following file name:
dataviewprtlet_main_external_partners_premium_techsource_personalizationroot_techuser_pressreleases_datatabletablepage.javaWebSphere Portlet Factory checks the length of the profile names embedded in the name and if it exceeds the value of the maxKeyLength property (in this case, 60), it converts them to an ID. The following would be the result of the previous example:dataviewprtlet_160568228_datatabletablepage.java
Name conversions in the log
When WebSphere Portlet Factory initiates a name conversion and the mapping is used for the first time, an entry is made in the log file. This entry notifies you that a conversion occurred. The entry can look similar to the following.*-- TIME:[Tue Aug 16 15:28:42 EDT 2002] --* Severity: WARNING Component: MODEL MSG:"Profile key is too long. Adding mapping for ID 139657846 to main_external_ partners_premium_techsource_personalizationroot_techuser_pressreleases"You can see a generated file in your WebSphere Portlet Factory file system that looks like the following.dataviewprtlet_139657846_datatabletablepage.javaYou can examine the log file to view the original profile names that were converted.
