Themedisplay null issue in Liferay 6.2

[Anil KC, módosítva 10 év-val korábban]

I was using themedisplay object for getting multiple attributes like user, userId, scopeGroupId in Liferay 6.1.2 CE. But now I have using Liferay EE 6.2.10 EE the same methods are not working. It returns null pointer exception.

public static long getScopeGroupId(ActionRequest actionRequest) {
		ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay) actionRequest.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);
		return themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId();
	}

Did liferay changed methods to retrieve themeDisplay or what?

No, its the same as previous versions.

Make sure your portlets are built with reference to 6.2 version.

Yeah, the value of the constant (which is inlined into the .class file when you compile) has changed in 6.2. See this thread for details. We are looking at how we can catch this kind of incompatibility in the future (or at least recognize it and document it).

I created my portlet from a fresh 6.2 SDK and deployed it to a 6.2 LR instance and this NPE is still being thrown when using the code snippet below.

ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay) request.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);
String userName = themeDisplay.getUser().getScreenName();


Error:

Any other ideas anyone?

Thanks.
