Liferay DWR Integration issues and solution

DWR classes doesn't have access to Liferay request and session attributes.

i.e. inside dwr classes this won't work

PortalUtil.getUser(req) --- return null

Also sharing themeDisplay object using post login hook won't work.. since postlogin-hook's session data is not shared with other portlet applications

One way to access themeDisplay object inside DWR classes is do this..

Add these lines to doView()..

ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay)

request.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);

request.getPortletSession().setAttribute("themeDisplay", themeDisplay, PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE);

and inside DWR class access like this

public void test(HttpSession session) {

ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay) session.getAttribute("themeDisplay");

logger.trace(" community name :" + themeDisplay.getScopeGroupName());

}
