LayoutPresentationContext Class

public class LayoutPresentationContext
extends `PresentationContext`

Used to provide access to presentation-related attributes specific to the `Layout` in use. Typically used during portal rendering via look and feel skeleton files. The skeleton file name for a `Layout` portal component must be <type>layout.jsp, where <type> is the string specified by the type attribute in the `Layout` portal component. For example:

<netuix:layout type="custom" title="Custom Layout" ...>

will delegate rendering tasks to customlayout.jsp in your skeleton directory.

### getLayoutPresentationContext(HttpServletRequest) Method

    public static LayoutPresentationContext getLayoutPresentationContext(HttpServletRequest request)

This is a convenience method for returning a reference to the one and only LayoutPresentationContext. Note this method will only work if called from within a portal. This method may return null if called when no appropriate context exists, but such a context should safely exist when being fetched from the associated skeleton JSP during normal portal rendering.

#### Parameters

request
  The current HTTPServletRequest instance

#### Returns

A reference to the current LayoutPresentationContext, if any

### getType() Method

    public String getType()

Returns the text of the type attribute that corresponds to this `Layout` portal component.

#### Returns

The text of the type attribute as a String, if any
