PortletExternalContextImpl should massage RenderResponse.getNamespace() into acceptable ID

Hi,

I've been testing the most basic portlet in our GridSphere framework and ran into this error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Subsequent characters of component identifier must be a letter, a digit, an underscore ('_'), or a dash ('-')! But component identifier contains "#"
at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.isIdValid(UIComponentBase.java:1049)

It appears that PortletExternalContextImpl is using the RenderResponse.getNamespace() method which in our case will return a string containing a #.

The JSR168 spec. does not specify any disallowed characters in getNamespace() so I think this is a bug in the PortletExternalContextImpl class-- probably in the

public String encodeNamespace(String name)

method, it should conert the response.getNamespace into a form that the UIComponentBase.isValid method can deal with.

Thanks, Jason
