getHeader() in do view

[Swetha Mohan]

Hi friends

I am developing a simple portlet . I want to access an object set it into the header in the doView() method of the portlet. The RenderRequest used in doView() method doest not have a getHeader() method, so is there any way I can get the object set into the header in the doView() method?

Thanks in advance

Try the getProperty method.

I have a tutorial that grabs all of the header methods, along with the code used in the example right here:

Getting Headers From a JSR168 Portlet

Enjoy!

public class GettingHeadersPortlet extends GenericPortlet {
 
protected void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response) throws PortletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.print("<B>These headers were sent:</B><BR/> ");
java.util.Enumeration enum = request.getPropertyNames();
while (enum.hasMoreElements()){
String name = enum.nextElement().toString();
String value = request.getProperty(name);
out.print("<BR/>");
out.print(name + ": " + value);
}
}
