RendarReq.getAttribute() displaying always null which is set by ActionReq.setAttribute()

[Komari raj]

HI All,

I am setting value in Request Attribute using Actionreq.setAttribute("name","Raj") in ProcessAction() method when ever action performed on portlet.

I am getting value as null from Request Attribute using Renderreq.getAttribute("name") in doView() method.

Any Suggestions.

1) is there a send redirect in the middle?
2) are they in the same request?

[Komari raj]

1 a) No
2 a) yes for same request( After performing any action on portlet) from ProcessAction() to doView

value is null for me as well when I use actionRequest.setAttribute and renderRequest.getAttribute.

Following portlet examples I saw online, I have always used

actionResponse.setRenderParameter("name","raj");

in processAction
and

renderRequest.getParameter("name");

in doView

but I don't know exactly why your way wouldn't work and mine would?
