By default, the Bridge will shorten the namespace that is added as a prefix to JSF Component Ids. This change will improve both the time that portlets take to be rendered by JSF, as the ids are now shorter, and the amount of data being passed between client and server.

It is possible to return to the behavior of previous Portlet Bridge versions by setting the following initialization parameter in portlet.xml for a specific portlet:

<init-param>
  <name>org.jboss.portletbridge.COMPONENT_NAMESPACE_SHORTENED</name>
  <value>false</value>
</init-param>

Or by setting it for all portlets present within an archive by setting the following context parameter in web.xml:

<context-param>
  <param-name>org.jboss.portletbridge.COMPONENT_NAMESPACE_SHORTENED</param-name>
  <param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>
