Hello all,
I have no idea if anyone else has ever encountered an issue such as this one, but it has me baffled.
In short: a ‘getContext’ within my init() method in my portlet-application class returns an object of type ‘WebApplicationContext’ instead of the expected PortletApplicationContext2
A relevant code snippet from my application class:
import com.vaadin.terminal.gwt.server.PortletApplicationContext2;
import com.vaadin.terminal.gwt.server.PortletApplicationContext2.PortletListener;
public class Dante extends Application implements PortletListener {
public void init() {
log.debug("init() called");
... // non relevant code
log.debug("getContext().getClass().getSimpleName() = " + getContext().getClass().getSimpleName());
if (getContext() instanceof PortletApplicationContext2) {
PortletApplicationContext2 ctx = (PortletApplicationContext2) getContext();
// Add a custom listener to handle action and
// render requests.
ctx.addPortletListener(this, this);
} else {
getMainWindow().showNotification(
"Not initialized via Portal! - context not of type PortletApplicationContext2",
Notification.TYPE_ERROR_MESSAGE);
}
}
}
Console output when starting my server & loading my app:

As you can see at the bottom: WebApplicationContext.
And loading the portlet shows me the ErrorNotification-window.
There is one other thing that might be worth mentioning: I’m using Maven to handle my dependencies & my building.
Other information regarding the project build up can be provided on request or you could click and check

So anyone care to give me any insights? Thoughts? Comments?
thanks in advance for any and all feedback!
