Portlet events are not distributed to portlets on other pages. The events are only distributed to portlets on the same page as the portlet which generated the event.

To address this issue, the following properties in portal(-ext).properties has been modified:

#

1. Set this property to specify how events are distributed. If the value is
2. "layout-set", then events will be distributed to all portlets contained in
3. a layout set. This will only work correctly if the property
4. "layout.default.p_l_reset" is set to false. If the value is "layout", then
5. events will be distributed to all portlets that are present in a layout.
   #
   portlet.event.distribution=layout

#

1. Set this property to specify how events are distributed. If the value is
2. "layout-set", then public render parameters will be distributed to all
3. portlets contained in a layout set. This will only work correctly if the
4. property "layout.default.p_l_reset" is set to false. If the value is
5. "layout", then public render parameters will be distributed to all
6. portlets that are present in a layout.
   #
   portlet.public.render.parameter.distribution=layout

Also, the property "portlet.event.max.generation" has been removed.
