Hello there
Problem:
My (generic) portlet reads the PortletMode whenever an action request /processAction(ActionRequest request, ActionResponse response) is computed.
Sadly the code, which worked in Version 2.0 does not work here anymore because request.getPortletMode() throws a NullPointerException, debugging showed that an internal variable named (guess what) "mode" is null. Appearantly the org.jboss.portal.server.app.impl.AbstractInputContext gets instanciated with null.
This does NOT happen in Render Requests / render(RenderRequest renderrequest, RenderResponse renderresponse)
Versions:
I am using the current jboss/tomcat integration:
*JBoss Portal 2.2 + JBoss AS 4.0.3SP1
*version 2.2
*83.8 MB
*Released 2005-12-15
jboss has been used out of the box, no modifications, just copied my war into the deploy dir.
OS is windows xp
java is 1.5.06 (sun)
background:
We use a generic portlet that implements javax.portlet.Portlet. The portlet uses a workflow engine and is configured via the portlet parameters.
RenderRequests get computed just fine, getPortletMode() works as expected.
I used the web management tool to create an instance of my portlet, added it to the Test page and tried to use it.
