Re: Pluto-2.0 portletSession cannot share parameters !!!

[Michael Freedman]

technically, you should only use public render parameters or events to share state between portlets.  Though using the PortletRequest might work in Pluto it is not standard and you wil lfind that this won't work on many portlet containers.  You can rely on the PortletSession however you must put the data in APPLICATION_SCOPE not PORTLET_SCOPE (the default) if you want all portlets in the same web application to see the attribute.     -Mike- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Eric,   The attributes need to be set on the PortletRequest, not the PortletSession. /Craig         -----"Eric Chow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ----- To: pluto-dev@portals.apache.org From: "Eric Chow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 07/04/2008 05:26AM Subject: Pluto-2.0 portletSession cannot share parameters !!! Hello, I am testing the Pluto-2.0. I could not retrieve the attributes from PortletSession. For example, I use portletSession.setAttribute("MYVAR", "some value") in PortletA, and retrieve it in PortletB, but it always returned "null". I tried to add the following in the portlet.xml in application level.  <container-runtime-option>      <name>javax.portlet.actionScopedRequestAttributes</name>      <value>true</value>      <value>numberOfCachedScopes</value>      <value>10</value>  </container-runtime-option> Is there any bug ?
