(a) Look for authenticated principal's PortletPreference for the given entity 
if Found  
    Return PortletPreference 
End if 
 
(b) Look for PortletPreference for this entity window, not associated to a principal 
if Found 
    Return PortletPreference 
End 
 
(c) Look for default PortletPreference for the portlet 
if Found 
    Return default PortletPreference 
End 
 
Return Not Found

Page 1 has  
 
Portlet-1, entity id = 51 
Portlet-2, entity id = 52 
Portlet-3, entity id = 53 
Portlet-1, entity id = 54 
 
Username = David 
 
RELATIONSHIPS 
 
(a) Stored in PREF_NODE table with NODE_NAME =  
   for entity 51:  /user/David/portletprefs/51 
              52:  /user/David/portletprefs/52 
              53:  /user/David/portletprefs/53 
              54:  /user/David/portletprefs/54 
 
(b) Considering window 51, the pref doesn't exist for user David, 
    Stored in PREF_NODE table with NODE_NAME =  
   for entity 51:  /System/Jetspeed/entities/51
