Re: Retrieving HTTP Servlet Info

If your portlet can access the PortletRequest, like you can if you're 
using JSF, you can get to the HttpServletRequest through the request 
context.

FacesContext fc =  FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); // if you're using JSF
ExternalContext ec =  fc.getExternalContext(); // if you're using JSF

PortletRequest pr = (PortletRequest) ec.getRequest();
RequestContext context = 
(RequestContext)pr.getAttribute(PortalReservedParameters.REQUEST_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE); 

HttpServletRequest hsr = portletRequestContext.getRequest();

I've used this in the past where I needed to store values in the 
Servlet's session to make them accessible to other portlets, for example 
maintaining a shopping cart state between an unautheticated guest user 
and their login.

It uses the Apache Portlet Bridge, plus an IBM specific class to get the ServletContext, HTTPRequest and HTTPResponse from the portlet related structures. I need to replace this class with a Jetspeed version.
