org.apache.jetspeed.request
Class PortalRequest

java.lang.Object
  javax.servlet.ServletRequestWrapper
      javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper
          org.apache.jetspeed.request.PortalRequest

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletRequest

public class PortalRequest
extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper

PortalRequest wraps the original request to the portal and keeps local references to properties like contextPath, servletPath and the Session when its created.

Some web servers like WebSphere don't store these properties inside the request but derive them dynamically based on the web application context in which they are invoked.

For cross-context invoked portlet applications, getting access to the portal contextPath using requestContext.getRequest().getContextPath() this clearly is a problem. Also, access to the Portal Session is not possible this way.

The requestContext.request is actually wrapped by this class which solves the problem by storing a reference to the actual properties at the time of creation and returning
