If you are looking for the Request Object, FacesContext is the place to take it from. What is the exception? Your post can have more details.

FacesContext faces=getFacesContext().getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ext=faces.getExternalContext();
RenderRequest req=(RenderRequest)ext.getRequest();

I took the request Object from the above code :

The Excepion is:

0000022 jsf E com.sun.faces.lifecycle.InvokeApplicationPhase execute #{pc_LoginPage.doSbmAction}: javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.faces.context.MyHttpServletRequestWrapper incompatible with javax.portlet.RenderRequest
javax.faces.FacesException: #{pc_LoginPage.doSbmAction}: javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.faces.context.MyHttpServletRequestWrapper incompatible with javax.portlet.RenderRequest
at com.sun.faces.application.ActionListenerImpl.processAction(ActionListenerImpl.java:79)

It looks like you have a portlet JSF app. I'm rusty on that, but I seem to recall that for portlets, you don't get an HttpRequest - they have their own specialized equivalents.

Charan I think that your Exception is being generated because you probably need to cast the Request to HttpServletRequest.


Hope this helps.

For Portal depending on which Portal you are using, returns a PortalRequest. The best way to find out is to take that request as an object and print the class. You will find out the name of request.
