how to get the /portal/testportal

[yxyang]

Hi

Within a jsp or portlet, how can i get the path to the portal ? e.g., i want to get /portal/default within a portlet or jsp file.

thanks

What you are talking of here is IPC. The oft discussed in roy's blogs but with scant documentation ?

Best would be to ask if v2.2RC1 is IPC compliant?

I think this is should be a simple and common question. There should be a way to get the context of current portal.

For example, i have two portal instances in the server. One is /portal/default and the other is /portal/testportal. Now i want to get the "/portal/testportal" within a portlet which is packed within testportal. Is this related to IPC?

regards

Use guide was update and posted yesterday.

Reference Guide is being worked on presently.

If you have suggestion, I'm ignoring them, unless I see them in the proper post. ;-) http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=76489

If you want to get the context of the portlet you can do it easily using the
getPortletContext() method in the Generic Portlet.

This is how you can use request dispatcher to dispatch to the jsp of your choice.

If you dont want to exchange data between the two portals, then there is no need for any IPC stuff here.

What I would do, is dispatch the request to a jsp within my portal,
In that jsp, I would keep an Iframe which would invoke my other portal

Simple!!

Can you give me the link where it was posted?
I referred to http://www.jboss.com/products/jbossportal/docs
Is it a new version of the documentation?

User guide is in the same link. I just updated them in CVS and on the web. I could change the date, but it would prob lead to confusion... maybe an "updated date" would help.

Ref guide is not updated yet.
