Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Previously, if a gadget tried to use a proxy URL which was not whitelisted, the gadget would silently fail. In many cases, a log message was not recorded for the failure. This could have resulted in customers incorrectly assuming the gadget contained a bug instead of the actual reason of the gadget using an unauthorized proxy connection. The enhancement introduces an INFO level log entry describing the root cause of the failure.

Description Matt Wringe 2012-02-09 15:38:56 UTC 
project_key: JBEPP

Currently if a gadget tries to use a proxy url which is not whitelisted, the gadget will just silently fail.

This means that a gadget may not display anything on the portal page, and there may not be any message in the logs about this. Without a notification it gives the impression that gadgets are currently broken rather than the gadget is using an unauthorized proxy connection.

For example, this portlet when used on a page in the gadget wrapper portlet: http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/112581010116074801021/hamster.xml

We should try to have *at least* some meaningful info in the logs as currently it fails silently.

Fixed in GateIn master.
Comment 6 Peter Palaga 2014-06-21 10:44:56 UTC 
This must have been fixed in JBoss Portal 6.2.0 DR1 already, but the Target Milestone field was unset till now.
