Portlet Instance

Inside Portlet Class implementation, how do I know which portlet instance is executing?

you don't and you shouldn't. The portlet spec actually requires that there is only one instance of the portlet per VM (analogous to a Servlet that doesn't implement SingleThreadModel)

What can be instance related are the preferences. That's all I can think of.

I'm developing and portlet class that extends MyFacesPortlet and controls an Hibernate Session.

The hibernate session should be saved in an per portlet-instance basis.

So I need to know which portlet instance is running to get the respective session.

There is no standard way?

The walkthrought i'm choosing is create a portlet preference that represents the name of the portlet instance.
But I think this is not the best choice.

perhaps JBoss Portal can set a specific request property that would give the instance id ?

Hi,

I also need to access the portlet instance id. Has this been fixed?

Thanks
