Actually, it's an attribute, you were right the first time... :)
BTW- Is there any reason you can't use PortletRequest.getRemoteUser()?
I think that's available in all PortletRequest's provided a user has
been authenticated. I mean if you're casting, you may as well use the
real method right?

MyFacesGenericPortlet creates a special derivation of ExternalContext
for you that wraps the portlet request (and portletSession, etc). So
getRequestMap() is going to give you a map backed by the
portletRequest parameters. In essence alot of stuff works no matter
what container you are in, as long as you don't cast to container
specific classes. So I would agree with Kito on the first point and
not cast specifically to PortletRequest.
Sorry I meant getRequestParameterMap() instead of getRequestMap() in
my previous post.
