I am trying to retrieve the user’s portal list through ajax in one of my portlets. I can obtain the UserPortalConfigService just fine but when I make a call to getAllPortalNames I am receiving an error because the POMSession is null when it tries to call execute in the ExecutorDispatcher. When I make this call in a Struts action (or a page refresh) everything works correctly and I am able to retrieve the portal names with ease. My speculation is that I am making the request outside of the portal and this POMSession is never getting opened. Is there any way I can open up a session in my code before I make the call to getAllPortalNames? The reason for not wanting these in a request is that the user can page through the portals easily using javascript/ajax and not have to wait for page reloads to see their options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
