Re: Struts2 and Portlets + GWT
By the way, if anyone ever want to know how to use GWT and struts2 for
portlet development, I'll be glad to write something up.

Re: Struts2 and Portlets + GWT
- 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,
Miguel

Re: Struts2 and Portlets + GWT
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?

Re: Struts2 and Portlets + GWT
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...

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
