Description

Reproducible in Trunk and 6.1.x Rev. 125613

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start portal and add Navigation portlet to a page.
2. Click configuration and notice the portlet defaults to the breadcrumbs setting.
3. Stop server and in portal-ext.properties add the following.
navigation.display.style.options=[from-level-1-to-all-sublevels]
navigation.display.style[from-level-1-with-title]=root-layout,absolute,1,auto,true
4. Restart Server

Results:
Expected: Navigation portlet should automatically update once the portal restarts
Actual: You need to go back to configuration. Notice the settings updated, but you are required to click save to update.
This means you will need to manually click save on every page using the navigation portlet.

In 5.2x, the portal properties would automatically update the settings and view once the portal restarted.

This is expected behavior. The following property, 'navigation.display.style.options', changes the available options seen in the drop down list from which the user can choose display styles. It should not change the display style. Adding a new property, 'navigation.display.style.default', to allow users to set the default display style. Even with this setting ('navigation.display.style.default'), the user will need to use a workaround because they're trying to use these properties to change the database values for the navigation portlet preferences.

PASSED Manual Testing following the steps in the description.

Reproduced on:
Tomcat 7.0 + MySQL 5. Portal 6.1.20 EE GA2.

Navigation portlet does not automatically update with the properties in portal-ext.properties.

Fixed on:
Tomcat 7.0 + MySQL 5. Portal 6.1.x EE GIT ID: c56b6445f8f9058d9e9858f8c1a36ddcd31f16a4.
Tomcat 7.0 + MySQL 5. Portal 6.2.x GIT ID: 4eb20fef848386853541f3fb74951f14989a15fe.

Navigation portlet will automatically update with the properties after restarting portal. Adding one more property (navigation.display.style.default) in portal-ext.properties and set the value to blank.
