Hi All,
I am Fairly new to this environment, i have followed the steps for integrating netbeans 6.1, plugins for openportal portlet container and glassfish-v2ur2 , everything installed fine.
however in the IDE i have 2 issue so far,
1) my "renderRequest" Object is not identified it say's "cannot find symbol",
i have included <portlet:defineObjects/> at the top ,is there a BUG still.
2)
<portlet:renderURL var="aURL"><portlet:param name="showReviewPage" value="showReview"/></portlet:renderURL>
<a href="<%=aURL.toString() %>" review</a>
aURL cannot be identified. it simply say's cannot find symbol.
all the taglibs are there for portlet2.0 and my taglib URI is below
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet"%> this is the one i am using .
there is a workaround by simply saying
RenderRequest renderRequest = (RenderRequest)request.getAttribute(javax.portlet.request) or something like this.
but i would like to know why the above 2 scenarios does not work.
