PortletPreferences

[Carlo Cavallieri <cc...@castgroup.it>]

Hi all, 



how can i access the PortletPreferences from an action with the bridge? 

Is there a standard way or an alternative solution to have something similar to the PortletPreferences? 



thanks

I guess you're talking about the Struts Bridge? 
For the Struts Bridge, it currently provides only "transparent" Struts features, meaning those that will work both 
inside a standard web container and a portlet container. 

Portlet specific features are easily accessible but will require to make use of the portlet api itself as described in 
Chapter PLT.16 of the Portlet API specification, see: http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=168 

Within an Struts Action, you can retrieve the PortletRequest as request attribute with name: "javax.portlet.request" 
And once you have the PortletRequest your can simple invoke PortletRequest.getPreferences().

Well, having a similar/parallel feature available (for Struts) in a standard web container would be very interesting, 
something I've been thinking of myself before providing (and thereby having a transparent solution for the Struts 
Bridge), but never found time (nor actual demand) doing so. 

FYI: the same "issue" is coming up for the Wicket framework for which I wrote the Portlet support as well. 
Chances are, we'll add something like the PortletPreferences for Wicket soon, and maybe that'll be transferable to the 
Struts Bridge too. But so far nothing has been written yet so time will tell...
