In my portlet's edit mode, I let a user make some configuration selections. This is done using JSF. When the user submits the form, I would like to save that data using the PortalPreferences object. The problem I'm having is with JSF, I do not have a request object when my form is submitted (a plain method off a managed bean is called). Without a request object I can not get to the PortalPreferences object for this user. So my question is: How do I get to JSF managed beans from the actionPerformed method? Or How do I get a request object from a method managed by JSF? Or, if you know of a better way to handle JFS/Portal edit mode, feel free to offer suggestions. Thanks.
