Package com.ibm.portal.model Description

This package defines ways to obtain models through JNDI lookups.

Package Specification

The interfaces presented here can be used obtain "model providers" via a JNDI lookup.

For lookups in code with a javax.servlet.ServletRequest available, these lookups can be used:

For lookups in code of a JSR portlet, the portlet service infrastructure is used. See com.ibm.portal.portlet.service for details on how to use this. The single services are exposed in the package com.ibm.portal.portlet.service.model.

For lookups in code of an IBM portlet, the IBM portlet service infrastructure is used. See org.apache.jetspeed.portlet.service for details on how to use this. The single services are exposed in the package com.ibm.portal.ibmportlet.service.model.

For lookups of ObjectID objects, these lookups can be used:

Coding examples:

Accessing a model on a servlet level: 

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
NavigationModelHome home = (NavigationModelHome) ctx.lookup("portal:service/model/NavigationModel");
if (home != null) {
    NavigationModel model = home.getNavigationModelProvider().getNavigationModel(aRequest, aResponse);
    ...
}
Accessing a model on a JSR 168 portlet level: 

PortletServiceHome psh;
javax.naming.Context ctx = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
boolean serviceAvailable = false;

try {
    psh = (PortletServiceHome) ctx.lookup("portletservice/com.ibm.portal.portlet.service.model.NavigationModelProvider");
    serviceAvailable = true;
} catch(javax.naming.NameNotFoundException ex) {
    ... error handling ...
}
...
if (serviceAvailable) {
    NavigationModelProvider provider = (NavigationModelProvider) psh.getPortletService(NavigationModelProvider.class);
    ...
}
Accessing a model on a IBM legacy portlet level: 

NavigationModelProvider provider = (NavigationModelProvider) aPortletContext.getService(com.ibm.portal.ibmportlet.service.model.NavigationModelProvider.class);
if (provider != null) {
    NavigationModel model = provider.getNavigationModel(aRequest, aResponse);
    ...
}
Lookup ObjectID objects for unique names: 

javax.naming.Context ctx = new InitialContext();

ObjectID oidForName = (ObjectID) ctx.lookup("portal:uniquename/unique name");
Lookup ObjectID objects for portlet definitions by providing the portlet's application ID and the portlet's name: 

javax.naming.Context ctx = new InitialContext();

ObjectID oidForName = (ObjectID) ctx.lookup("portal:config/portletdefinition/application guid/portlet name");
