Identify which Application is currently active in portal

General
1

Hi,

I have a situation where I have a couple of TK Applications running as portlets in JBoss Portal. Not all portlets are viewed at the same time, but only one at a time and inited when opened/viewed the first time. I’d like to somehow know which one of the portlet applications is running and showed ATM, is this possible?

I need this because I want to grab switching between applications in my transactionStart() implementation. The only thing is that every open application’s transactionStart() is called when switching the view, so I don’t know from which portlet I’m navigating away and into which other portlet I’m heading.

I guess I could grab a part of the URL and compare it to the Application parameter of transactionStart(), but is there some more sophisticated and “clean” way of doing this?

You can listen for portlet renderrequest which fires for all portlets in page when url is loaded.

PortletApplicationContext.addPortletListener(PortletListener p);
