[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: How do I change from session to request?

[thomas.heute@jboss.com]

Since you address this to newbie, i want to mention that you should try to avoid casting that at all costs while writing components, this is mostly a hack.

We found enough components that do a cast from ExternalContext to HttpServletContext and then make the component unusable inside a portlet environment (for no technical reason). This is often not required, just a wish of the programmer to fall back to an API that he feels more comfortable with.


In your example, you could simply use:

  | FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
  | ExternalContext externalContext = context.getExternalContext();
  | System.out.println(externalContext.getRequestParameterMap().getAttribute("helloForm:firstName"));
  | System.out.println(externalContext.getRequestParameterMap().getAttribute("helloForm:lastName"));
  | 

And it will do the same thing but work in both environment.
