Hi, I am trying to obtain PortletPreferences from a Struts Action class as follows public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { PortletRequest portRequest = (PortletRequest)request.getAttribute("javax.portlet.request"); PortletPreferences prefs = renderRequest.getPreferences(); System.out.println("The value of attribute is "+prefs.getValue("attribute1","default")); } But all the time i get only default printed on the server console. The attribute1 has a value in the HSQL portal database. I ma accesing only after sucessful portal logging. Though i was unable to retreive the values i am able to set the value of this attribute. Can anyone let me know whats incorrect or wrong here.? Thanks & Regards Sridhar View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3996401#...
