Struts2 and Portlets + GWT
Hi all, this is my first post to struts2 mailing list :)
I'm using Struts2 and the gwt plugin by Musachy Barroso, in a portlet
project, and for the front end I'm using Google Web Toolkit (gwt). So I'm
using struts only for the actions, except for the 'default' action, which is
a jsp with struts taglibs.
In my portlet project, I have an action that implements the PrincipalAware
interface, that is the default action for my portlet. This action calls the
jsp. When I debug this action, I can see that the PrincipalProxy object is a
portlet proxy object; however all gwt calls to struts2 actions that
implement the PrincipalAware interface gives me only Serlver proxy objects.
I think that this happens because GWT calls the action directly, bypassing
the Jsr168Dispatcher. The action then 'thinks' that the request is a servlet
request instead of a portlet request.
My question is: how can I force all requests to pass by the Jsr168 request
dispatcher? I want to have access of portlet data in my actions, through GWT
calls.
Thanks In advance,
Miguel Ping

it would be great if you write something up :), you can do it on the
GWT plugin page, or setup a new page on the wiki. You would need to
file a CLA (http://www.apache.org/licenses/index.html#clas) if you
haven't.

Re: Struts2 and Portlets + GWT
Posted by Nils-Helge Garli Hegvik <ni...@gmail.com>.
Using the application scope, it shares the attributes with all
servlets and portlets in the same application (the same .war unit),
but it's still only visible to the user session. To get access to the
PortletSession, just use
PortletActionContext.getRequest().getPortletSession().

Re: Struts2 and Portlets + GWT
Posted by Miguel Ping <mi...@gmail.com>.
- But doesn't that share the object in ALL sessions? I want to share a
specific object per user session. Besides, I don't know how to acess the
PortletSession. By using SessionAware I can only get a Map, the
PortletSessionMap. The Portlet specs show an example with 3 arguments:
session.setAttribute("home.url",url,PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE);
session.setAttribute("bkg.color","RED",PortletSession.PORTLET_SCOPE);
but the map provided by the SessionAware interface is a regular Map.
Thanks once more,

If you need to share data between the servlet and the portlet, you
have to put it in the application scope, using the
PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE constant in the setAttribute
operation.

Re: Struts2 and Portlets + GWT
Posted by Miguel Ping <mi...@gmail.com>.
I am already using the plugin :) Nice work, by the way ;)
I'm having some issue sharing data between portlet sessions and servlet
sessions... The portlet api says that the data in servlet session must be
acessible from the portlet session. But if i put something in the session
map by means of the SessionAware interface, when I'm in the GWT actions, the
data is not acessible. Am I doing something wrong?

not sure if you can use it for this, but there is a GWT plugin for struts:

Re: Struts2 and Portlets + GWT
Posted by Miguel Ping <mi...@gmail.com>.
Hi, thanks for the answer. Yes you are correct, GWT makes special requests
that update a part of a page. I am reading the Portlet spec and I didn't
knew that portlets had custom urls, thanks for the pointer :)
So I guess in order to have access to portlet preferences / principal info /
etc, the best is to store them in the http session.
Is it an option to write a custom GWT request that passes as a regular
portlet url, so the dispatcher can process it? I understand that this is not
directly related to struts, I just want to be sure that the
Jsr168RequestDispatcher works by inspecting urls...

Hi!
The Jsr168Dispatcher only handles requests created as Portlet URLs.
I'm not familiar with GWT so apoligies if my assumptions are
incorrect, but I assume that you're referring to some sort of "partial
request" that updates a section of the page? In that case, it's
correct that it should be invoked as a servlet request, since invoking
it through a portlet url will change the state and corrupt your entire
portlet (you would get the contents of the entire portal page from the
request). So I would recommend that you build your application so that
the AJAX part is working as a servlet.
The Portlet 2.0 specification has better support for this kind of
stuff, so it will improve in the future :)
