## com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.portlet.backing
Class PortletBackingContext

    java.lang.Object
      com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.ControlContext
          com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.BackingContext
              com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.window.backing.WindowBackingContext
                  com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.portlet.backing.PortletBackingContext

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

public class PortletBackingContext
extends WindowBackingContext

This is the BackingContext for a portlet. This `PortletBackingContext` can only be referenced from a backing file. If you think you need to reference this from a JSP you should look at `PortletPresentationContext`.

To get a handle to the BackingContext just call the following:
`PortletBackingContext.getPortletBackingContext(request);`

  `JspBacking`, Serialized Form

  Returns classifications for which the underlying portlet is disabled.

  Returns:
    disabled classifications

### getEnabledClassifications

    public String getEnabledClassifications()

  Returns classifications for which the underlying portlet is enabled.

  Returns:
    enabled classifications

### getInstanceId

    public String getInstanceId()

  Return the instance id of this portlet. Note: the instance id is only populated when in streaming mode, not single file mode. This can be used with the persistence API.

    If this portlet is placed on a page then a reference to the pages backing context otherwise null.

### getPortletBackingContext

    public static PortletBackingContext getPortletBackingContext(HttpServletRequest request)

  A static helper to pull the current portlet's backing context out of the request.

  Parameters:
    `request` -
  Returns:
    A reference to the currents windows backing context.

### getPortletUri

    public String getPortletUri()

  Get the portlet's URI.

  Returns:
    A String containing the portlet's URI.
