Description

The request attributes set in a portlet are not available inside a jsp after an "include" when the portlet is inserted in the header.vm with JetspeedPowerTool.

For example I have the foolowing code in a portlet doView :
request.setAttribute("test", "hello");
getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/test.jsp").include(request, response);

test.jsp contains :
${test}

And in header.vm :
$jetspeed.renderPortletEntity("testportlet", "portlets::TestPortlet")

The value of attribute "test" is not visible. It works fine if the portlet is included in a psml.

I suggest the following correction in the class org.apache.jetspeed.engine.servlet.ServletRequestImpl, in the method getAttribute(String) :

Replace :

public Object getAttribute( String name )
{
Object value = null;

// In parallel mode, first look up from the worker.

Thread ct = Thread.currentThread();

if (ct instanceof Worker)

{ value = CurrentWorkerContext.getAttribute(name); }

...

With :

public Object getAttribute( String name )
{
Object value = null;

// In parallel mode, first look up from the worker.

Thread ct = Thread.currentThread();

if (ct instanceof Worker)
{
value = CurrentWorkerContext.getAttribute(name);
if (null == value)
{
PortletRequest pr = (PortletRequest) super.getAttribute("javax.portlet.request");
if (pr != null)

{ value = CurrentWorkerContext.getAttribute(nameSpaceMapper.encode(portletWindow.getId(), name)); }

}
}
....
