Various portal objects may be accessed by the Portal request. These objects can be accessed by request attributes or by PortalServletRequest methods. The atg.portal.servlet.Attribute interface defines constants for the PortalServletRequest attributes. The full name of each of the request attributes defined by Attribute.CONSTANT_NAME (for example, Attribute.COMMUNITY), but for simplicity we refer to the request attributes by their constant names in this chapter.
