Hi Lahiri,

do you solved the problem?

I'm using WebSphere Portal 6.1 and made all the changes you've done but the filter won't be invoked. I've also added the filter in my portlet.xml descriptor. In JBoss Portal it works fine...

Thanks!

Hello,
Did you solve the problem? I am facing the same problem. I've just completed the following tasks:

1. Enabled the portlet fltering by the following line of PortletContainerService.properties file under PortletContainerService.properties directory:
#
# Portlet filtering
#
# Default: true
#
legacy.portlet.enable.filtering = true
#
# Allow property broker processing of portlet actions
#


2. Set the PortletContainerService.properties under C:\IBM\WebSphere\PortalServer\config\properties
filtername14 = MyPortletFilter
# filter implementation class, required
MyPortletFilter.classname = com.sample.MyPortletFilte

# supported methods, at least one is required
MyPortletFilter.method.1 = service
MyPortletFilter.method.2 = doTitle

# configuration parameter, optional
MyPortletFilter.Trace = true

3. Implement a simle Filter and export the jar to C:\IBM\WebSphere\PortalServer\shared\app\

public class MyPortletFilter extends PortletFilterAdapter {

public MyPortletFilter() {
super();
System.out.println("MyPortletFilter() constructor called");
System.out.flush();
}

public void init(PortletFilterConfigImpl filterConfig) throws PortletException
{

System.out.println(" init() --entering");
super.init(filterConfig);

ServletContext context;
boolean trace = false;;
super.init(filterConfig);
context = filterConfig.getPortalContext();
String param = filterConfig.getInitParameter("Trace");
if ((param!=null)&&(param.equalsIgnoreCase("true"))) {
trace = true;
}
context.log("Trace = " + trace);

System.out.println(" myFilter initialized");
System.out.flush();
}

public void doService(PortletRequestWrapper request,PortletResponseWrapper response, PortletFilterChainImpl filterChain) throws PortletException, IOException
{
System.out.println("doService() -- entering");
filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
System.out.println("doService() -- leaving");
}

public void doTitle(PortletRequestWrapper request,PortletResponseWrapper response, PortletFilterChainImpl filterChain) throws PortletException, IOException {
System.out.println("doTitle() -- entering");
super.doTitle(request, response, filterChain);
System.out.println("doTitle() -- leaving");
}
}

4. Set the FilterChain parameter on portlet manager page as MyPortletFilter

5. Additionally, I've added the following lines to portlet.xml under portlet's related WE-INF directory:


MyPortletFilter
com.sample.MyPortletFilter
RENDER_PHASE
ACTION_PHASE

message
My Sample Portlet Filter




MyPortletFilter
My_Portlet



Could you please give an advice if you see a missing point? When I click on the porlet, nothing happens.. I can not see the system out messages in my console..
