Tapestry Request / Portlet Request

Hi

If we consider to add portlet support to Tapestry, the current Request
object is maybe missing some methods. For example, let's say the developer
want to answer an action request differently whether he is in a servlet or a
portlet container, as we have isXHR() method maybe we should have a
isPortletRequest() one.

I am trying to see the Portlet support as a contribution without modifying
anything to the core, but i have the feeling that the Tapestry Request API
must evolve too. If it stands as an external contribution, the developer
will have contribution's imports in its page, so that he will not be able to
re-use it in another context. I think slight changes in the request API may
help to fill the gap between servlet request and portlet request, and the
contribution will do the rest.

Any idea ?

This should be deferred to 5.4 at this point. It is a welcome addition to T5!
