Get window name or page name

[snon]

Hi,

JBoss portal 2.4.1
JBoss AS 4.0.4

Is there a way of getting a page name or a window name from a RenderRequest object ?

Best regards

Hi,

Note: This applies to JBoss Portal 2.6.x. I haven't tried with 2.4.x. I am also using FacesContext since this is for a JSF portlet.

You should be able to get the window and page names using the JBossRenderRequest like so:

// Get render request object that contains needed info
JBossRenderRequest req =
 (JBossRenderRequest) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
 .getExternalContext().getRequest();

// Extract window name for this portlet
String windowName = req.getPortalNode().getName();

// Extract page name for this window
String pageName = req.getPortalNode().getParent().getName();

I also have a blog entry that shows how to get the portal name if you're interested. Here's the link:

Hope this helps,
