To answer Mitthias, I'm going to be testing against Pluto and Oracle's WSRP. I *MAY* add Gridsphere to the test since it's Websphere like.

Now, Arash, you are replying to a different issue. I noticed that Tomahawk has added support for PortletFilters and I guess I jumped the gun on wanting to use it. By removing dependencies on the "wapper" objects in the filters, we can remove any dependency we have on the implementation of the particular portal for now. Perhaps we may even have to depend on our own bridge portlet which (like tomahawk) is derived off of the MyFaces Bridge. The things that concerns me is that never will the two run together in a portal environment if we do this.

I have a requirement to allow this stuff to run in a WSRP container which is more like type 2 of your scenario. Therefore, I am flat against using an implied implementation (like taking advantage of the fact that WebSphere wraps httpServletRequest/Response objects. I *don't* mind providing an interface with various adapters (for each portal maybe) that could implement these wrapper objects as hopefully well have something similar in the spec in a year or so.

That being said, while LifeRay is not of the first type you recomended, someone familiar with the system should be able to provide a wrapper object for LifeRay's PortletRequest implementation object.

there two kind of portals
some use Servlet classes as a base for Portlet and other Portlet Classes,
and subclasses classes like PortletRequest from HttpServletRequest.
some develop Portlet classes from scratch.
lots of problems arise in second type of portlet API implementation which
the Portlet classes can not be casted to Servlet classes.

IBM websphere is from first kind.
Liferay is second type.
pluto is some thing between:

 package org.apache.pluto.internal.impl;
 ....
public abstract class PortletRequestImpl extends HttpServletRequestWrapper
 implements PortletRequest, InternalPortletRequest {
 ....

as you see they have subclasses HttpServletRequestWrapper
so they have all methods of HttpServlet

so I think its better that we don't test portlet patch implementation on
pluto.
