            Description

            A customer running a portlet on WebLogic wants to use the Authentication.login() API provided by the container. The signature of that method, surprisingly, requires direct access to the HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse:

            http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/javadoc/com/bea/p13n/security/Authentication.html

            In WebLogic, it appears that calling ExternalRequest.getRequest() in a portlet actually returns something that can be used as an HttpServletRequest. However, with ICEfaces, we provide a PortletExternalContext implementation that returns a PortletRequest of our own and there doesn't currently seem to be a way to drill down and get at the original request to pass into the login() method.
