ReplyDeleteHi Tejas ,
ReplyDeleteI am very new to liferay and I need to get ThemeDisplay object so that I can access page URL in my controller.
I am trying with the following code but it gives null-pointer exception
@RenderMapping
public String showItems(ModelMap model, RenderResponse response, RenderRequest request) {
ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay)request.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);
Layout layout = themeDisplay.getLayout();
String uri = layout.getFriendlyURL();
}
I have tried printing request attribute for WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY but it is null in my request .
I have added following dependency in my pom.xml
com.liferay.portal
portal-service
6.1.2
My liferay is : liferay-portal-6.2.0-GA1
Can you please help.
Thank you.
