How to Communicate between JSR168 Portlets on the
Desktop
One method of communicating between portlets on the desktop is via the
session object. Only problem is that each portlet has its own session.
To get around this problem the JSR168 standard specifies a
PortletSession that can have portlet or application scope. This example
uses PortletSession with Application scope. Note that Application_scope
has a value of 1 and the value is used in the example instead of the
symbol. (I couldn't find the symbol class)
To create the demo you must create two new JSPPortlet Portlets in the
console. For one of the Portlets specify for the content jsp:
contentGet.jsp and the other one contentSet.jsp. Next add the portlets
to the myfrontpagetabcontainer. Now copy contentGet.jsp
and contentSet.jsp to
