For the http request parameters, sure you're correct. But he's got a
portlet and he's looking for a portlet request parameter, so he's going
about things the correct way.
MyFacesGenericPortlet creates a special derivation of ExternalContext
for you that wraps the portlet request (and portletSession, etc). So
getRequestMap() is going to give you a map backed by the
portletRequest parameters. In essence alot of stuff works no matter
what container you are in, as long as you don't cast to container
specific classes. So I would agree with Kito on the first point and
not cast specifically to PortletRequest.
