You can access the Portlet API directly from a model by retrieving the request attributes...

Both the JSR-168 and WebSphere Portal portlet adapters place these objects in the HttpServletRequest on each request using predefined keys from the class...

com.bowstreet.adapters.Constants

Here are examples of retrieving each of the Portlet objects:

PortletRequest portletRequest = (PortletRequest) webAppAccess.getHttpServletRequest().getAttribute(Constants.PORTLET_REQUEST);

PortletResponse portletResponse = (PortletResponse) webAppAccess.getHttpServletRequest().getAttribute(Constants.PORTLET_RESPONSE);

PortletConfig portletConfig = (PortletConfig) webAppAccess.getHttpServletRequest().getAttribute(Constants.PORTLET_CONFIG);

Note: When running your model outside of a portal, these objects will be null.

You will need to import the proper object types based on your JSR-168 or WebSphere Portal environment.

Imports for JSR-168 portlets:
