Shindig Features README
=======================

The files in the folders /features/core.prefs replace the Shindig preference handling
stubs with an interface to the Widget.preferences HTML 5 object implemented in Wookie.

In core.prefs:
	- prefs.js has been altered to make the W3C Widget calls
	- features.xml includes links to the wookie core JS injected code. Note that these are 
	           absolute URLs are should be replaced with URLs to your own Wookie server
	
Edit the URLs in features.xml, and then replace or merge these files with the standard Shindig features files to add 
W3C widget persistence. A ready-built shindig-features jar is located in the dist/ folder which you can use as the basis
for your own shindig-features.jar file.
	
To enable this functionality to work it is currently necessary to turn off cross-site session security for DWR, or you
will get a "Session Error" whenever using Gadgets with Wookie as the two webapps do not share sessions. 

To do this, add the following parameter in web.xml for the dwr-invoker serlvet:

		<init-param>
			<param-name>crossDomainSessionSecurity</param-name>
			<param-value>false</param-value>
		</init-param>
		
(You can also avoid this problem by merging the Wookie and Shindig applications into a single webapp, combining the
web.xml files into one.)
