Method Detail

getHeaderPresentationContext

public static HeaderPresentationContext getHeaderPresentationContext(HttpServletRequest request)

This is a convenience method for returning a reference to the optional HeaderPresentationContext. Note this method will only work if called from within a portal (typically, from the header.jsp skeleton). This method may return null if called when no appropriate context exists, but such a context should safely exist when being fetched from the associated skeleton JSP during normal portal rendering.

Parameters:

request - The current HTTPServletRequest instance

Returns:

A reference to the current HeaderPresentationContext, if any
