PortletRequestDispatcher...

[Stephan Huber <sh...@ti.com>]

Hi,

how do I integrate a servlet within a portlet? For example, just a 
simple HelloWorld servlet which is executed within the portlet 
throughout the PortletRequestDispatcher...

Here is the "doView(...)" method of the portlet:
<CODE>
protected void doView(RenderRequest renderReq, RenderResponse renderRes) 
throws PortletException, IOException {
   renderRes.setContentType("text/html");

   String servletName = getPortletConfig().getInitParameter("servletName");
   PortletRequestDispatcher rd = 
getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher(servletName);
   rd.include(renderReq, renderRes);
}
</CODE>

ServletTest/src/com/mycompany/portlet/ServletPortlet.java
--> this is the path to the portlet (ServletPortlet.java)

ServletTest/src/com/mycompany/servlet/HelloWorld.java
--> this is the path to the servlet (HelloWorld.java)

In "portlet.xml"

<init-param>
  <name>servletName</name>
  <value>???</value>
</init-param>

what "<value>" do I have to specify?

Best regards,

I believe that getRequestDispatcher wants a string relative to the base 
of the context - so it's either a file or a servlet mapped partial URL. 
  See the portlet (or perhaps the servlet) spec.
