[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Accessing session attributes in a portlet

[segal96]

I have a servlet filter intercepting all http reqs to my portal and setting session attributes (strings) that I'd like to access in portlets.  Is this possible?  If so, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

#########
In the servlet:
#########
HttpSession session = httpRequest.getSession(true);
session.setAttribute("attr1","somestring");

#########
In the portlet:
#########
String attribute = (String)readRequest.getPortletSession().getAttribute("attr1", PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE);

// Always returns null for some reason???
System.out.println(attribute);

Cheers,
-Steve
