Description

I have a web application that it works with MyFaces and Tiles (using the View Handler org.apache.myfaces.application.jsp.JspTilesViewHandlerImpl.
I'm trying to make it works as a Portlet. But I have found some problems with JspTilesViewHandlerImpl:

-getServletMapping can't work because with portlet implementation externalContext.getRequestServletPath() and externalContext.getRequestPathInfo() always return null (see org.apache.myfaces.context.portlet.PortletExternalContextImpl).

-In many places of this class there are many references to ServletRequest, ServletContext, HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse. This type-casting isn't correct when we're working with portlets.
