Class VaadinPortletSession

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, EventListener, javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionBindingListener
    public class VaadinPortletSession
extends VaadinSession
    An implementation of VaadinSession for JSR-286 portlet environments. This is automatically registered as a HttpSessionBindingListener when PortletSession#setAttribute() is called with the context as value. Only the documented parts of this class should be considered as stable public API. Note also that some methods and/or nested interfaces might move to VaadinPortletService in future minor or major versions of Vaadin. In these cases, a deprecated redirection for backwards compatibility will be used in VaadinPortletSession for a transition period.
    Since:
    7.0

        action - the action parameter (javax.portlet.action parameter value in JSR-286)
        Returns:
        action URL or null if called outside a MimeRequest (outside a UIDL request or similar)

      • sendPortletEvent

        public void sendPortletEvent​(UI uI,
                             QName name,
                             Serializable value)
                      throws IllegalStateException
        Sends a portlet event to the indicated destination. Internally, an action may be created and opened, as an event cannot be sent directly from all types of requests. Sending portlet events from background threads is not supported. The event destinations and values need to be kept in the context until sent. Any memory leaks if the action fails are limited to the session. Event names for events sent and received by a portlet need to be declared in portlet.xml .
        Parameters:
        uI - a window in which a temporary action URL can be opened if necessary
        name - event name
        value - event value object that is Serializable and, if appropriate, has a valid JAXB annotation
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException

      • setSharedRenderParameter

        public void setSharedRenderParameter​(UI uI,
                                     String name,
                                     String value)
                              throws IllegalStateException
        Sets a shared portlet parameter. Internally, an action may be created and opened, as shared parameters cannot be set directly from all types of requests. Setting shared render parameters from background threads is not supported. The parameters and values need to be kept in the context until sent. Any memory leaks if the action fails are limited to the session. Shared parameters set or read by a portlet need to be declared in portlet.xml .
        Parameters:
        uI - a window in which a temporary action URL can be opened if necessary
        name - parameter identifier
        value - parameter value
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException

      • setPortletMode

        public void setPortletMode​(UI uI,
                           javax.portlet.PortletMode portletMode)
                    throws IllegalStateException,
                           javax.portlet.PortletModeException
        Sets the portlet mode. This may trigger a new render request. Currently, this is only supported when working with a StateAwareResponse (an action request or an event request). Portlet mode change in background threads is not supported. Portlet modes used by a portlet need to be declared in portlet.xml .
        Parameters:
        uI - a window in which the render URL can be opened if necessary
        portletMode - the portlet mode to switch to
        Throws:
        javax.portlet.PortletModeException - if the portlet mode is not allowed for some reason (configuration, permissions etc.)
        IllegalStateException - if not processing a request of the correct type
