From the research I've done, this is a little more complicated than I originally thought...
I have created a filter hook and would like to set a cookie based upon a session attribute set in an email gathering portlet. Once I am able to do that, I think bringing in the additional style sheet won't be an issue. The problem I'm having is reading the session attribute set in the portlet from my filter hook and also setting a cookie in the filter hook that the rest of my portlets can read. Has anyone had any luck sharing a session attribute with a filter hook?
The filter hook only has the ServletRequest object. I try to get the HttpServletRequest object like this:
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) servletRequest;
The portlet has the PortletRequest object and I'm getting the HttpServletRequest like this
HttpServletRequest req = PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest(request); //where request is the PortletRequest
HttpSession session = req.getSession();
session.setAttribute("email", email);
The session object in the portlet is not the same as in the filter from what I can tell and I'm getting the session from the HttpServletRequest in both. I'm not sure where to go from here ..
Thanks in advance,
Brian
