Struts2 Portlet support
I also posted this in the WebWork forum.
We have succesfully developed a large application that supports milllions of
users with WebWork 2.2.4. It has worked great. This application is comprised
of many independent "panels" that are invoked using the "Page-Controller"
pattern as defined in the Lightbody/Carreira book. Since these panels are
basically HTML fragments, I want to reuse the same code to create portlets
for some of these panels. When invoked from the 168Dispatcher, I do not have
access to the HTTPRequest object in the Action class for each panel. So, how
do I get access to:
1) URL parameters
2) Browser info
3) Session attributes
4) Request header info
I do not see this in the examples or docs. Thanks.

If you were writing the application the WebWork 2 way, you should have
getters/setters for each parameter you need from the request. Since
WebWork would call those for you, you wouldn't need to access the
request parameters directly. Still, if for whatever reason that isn't
enough, use ActionContext.getContext().getParameters()
> 2) Browser info
For this, you'll need to access the request, be it servlet or portlet,
directly. I'd probably have a class that abstracts this for me that
would use either ServletActionContext and PortletActionContext,
whichever is applicable to the situation.

A couple ways: implement SessionAware and get a map or use
ActionContext.getContext().getSession().

I agree we should address this more directly in the documentation.
Perhaps if you get your application working, you could contribute? :)
