Question about

[chaser]

Hi, all

I am very new in portal and doing some researching on this. When I study the "HelloWorldPortlet", I am looking into the java file for the portlet: HelloWorldPortlet.java. In this file, it has such method:

protected void doView(RenderRequest rRequest, RenderResponse rResponse) throws PortletException, IOException, UnavailableException

{

rResponse.setContentType("text/html");

javax.portlet.PortletRequestDispatcher pRD = this.getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher(JSP_PATH + "/view.jsp");

pRD.include(rRequest, rResponse);

}

I checked all the XML files in "helloworldportlet.war" but couldn't figure it out where the "portlet context" is defined. I am used to the web application structure and recalled that in the "/WEB-INF/web.xml", there is a <context-root> element to indicate the context root of a web application. So what's the counterpart for portlet and where to find it?

Thanks.

The portlet spec, chapter 10, describes the Portlet Context: http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=168

You may also want to look at the Portlet API, in particular, the PortletConfig and GenericPortlet classes:
