Hi all,

I am trying to run a richfaces portlet on the portlet bridge 1.0.0.B4 and JBoss Portal 2.7.0. I am trying to get the authenticated user information, I cannot do that directly through the portlet request because of https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-2254 , I read further on the forum here and people were saying I can get that through casting the request to a JBossRenderRequest, I tried doing that but the request I am getting back is
of type org.jboss.portal.portlet.impl.jsr168.api.RenderRequestImpl. I have the required portlet filter in place for exposing JBossRenderRequest and I dont have any jboss jars in my war file (except the bridge):

<portlet-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/
 portlet-app_2_0.xsd"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet
 /portlet-app_2_0.xsd
 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd"
 id="myPortletApp" version="2.0">


 <filter>
 <filter-name>JBoss Portlet Filter</filter-name>
 <filter-class>org.jboss.portlet.filter.JBossPortletFilter</filter-class>
 <lifecycle>ACTION_PHASE</lifecycle>
 <lifecycle>RENDER_PHASE</lifecycle>
 </filter>

 <filter-mapping>
 <filter-name>JBoss Portlet Filter</filter-name>
 <portlet-name>myPortlet</portlet-name>
 </filter-mapping>

Does the above type means my filter is being ignored? My portlet also, being a bridge-based portlet doesn't extend JBossPortlet, does that mean the request wrapper will not be available? If so is there any other way I can get the user information?

Thanks.
