Sharing data Between portlets

[Abiodun Adisa]

I am using two different portlets in my Portal Application i intend to share data between this two portlets, I tried

PortletRequest request=(PortletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext.getRequest();
PortletSession ps=request.getPortletSession();
ps.setAttribute("Test","Test");

But unfortunately i am unable to retrieve this in my other Portlet, I am using websphere portal Server 6

Hi,

You can use application scope of portlet session to share the data between the portlets.You can go through JSR 168 Specs for the same.

You'll need to do something like this:

String visitCount =
(String)session.getAttribute("timesvisited",PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE);

PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE needs to go in there.

Here's a little tutorial on understanding the various Portlet scopes:
