Jboss portal - attribute passing between 2 EAR files

[dwarakanathan thiru]

Hi All,
I am new to Portlets and need more information about the Portlet Session Scope.

If the Portlet Session Scope is set to "Application Scope", the attributes are visible to all the portlets that belong to the same WAR-file.
Is it visible to other WAR-file(s)? If so how can I pass attributes from one JSP / Portlet Java in WAR-1 file to another JSP / Portlet Java in WAR-2 file?

Thanks!!

hi dwarakanathan

Please use jsr 286 portal spec to implement interportlet communication between 2 wars or 2 ears.

check examples at

https://portlet-container.dev.java.net/public/Samples.html and

http://developers.sun.com/portalserver/reference/techart/jsr286/jsr286.html

i hope this will help you

Finally I got a way that works.
I tried passing request parameters from the 1st application to the 2nd application using a servlet in the 2nd app.
And from there I will set the parameter back to a session & use a redirect to my portal page, which will use up the parameter.

I shall post the code soon.
