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

    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`

Field Detail

### CLASS_NAME

    public static final String CLASS_NAME

Method Detail

### getLabel

    public String getLabel()

  Return the unique label for the portlet. For portlets this is the same as `instanceLabel`.

  Specified by:
    `getLabel` in class `WindowBackingContext`
  Returns

### getInstanceLabel

    public String getInstanceLabel()

  Return the unique instance label for the portlet. This is the property defined in the IDE as `instance Label`.

  ``
  Returns
    the instance label.

### getPortletUri

  `example: /portlets/myportlet/myportlet.portlet`

  Returns
    A String containing the portlet's URI.

### 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.

  Overrides:
    `getInstanceId` in class `WindowBackingContext`
  Returns
    A string representation of the portlet's instance id (this is always a number)

### 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.

### getPortletPreferences

    public PortletPreferences getPortletPreferences(HttpServletRequest request)

  Returns a copy of the preferences for this portlet.

  Parameters
    `request` - The current HTTPServletRequest instance
  Returns
    The preferences instance

### getPreferences

    public PortletPreferences getPreferences(HttpServletRequest request)

  Deprecated Use getPortletPreferences instead

  Returns preferences for this portlet.

  Parameters
    `request` - HTTP request
  Returns
    preferences

### isDefaultMinimized

    public boolean isDefaultMinimized()

  Returns
    enabled classifications

### isDeleted

### fireCustomEvent

    public void fireCustomEvent(String eventName,
