Hi,

I'm trying to integrate ZK with Liferay Portal 5.2.2. I could render zk page as a portlet, but noticed communication to AU engine goes through webapp URL (e.g. http://localhost:8080/zkportlet/zkau) instead of portlet URL (should be something look like http://localhost:8080/web/guest/jsr286?...). For those who are not familiar with Liferay, it deploys a portlet war as an ordinary webapp and registers it to the portal framework. HTTP requests should be processed by Liferay portal framework rather than hitting the webapp directly to control the portal specific behavior such as rendering and security. If the client hits the webapp URL instead of portlet URL, it could be a security hole and we need to protect it separately.

JSR-286, portlet spec v2, introduced a method javax.portlet.Portlet#serveResource, which can be used to forward the AJAX requests to the underlying servlet to handle them. (i.e. DHtmlUpdateServlet).

So I'd like to ask you if there is a way to customize the URL with which the client send the requests to DHtmlUpdateServlet.
The resource URL can be obtained by calling RenderResponse.getResourceURL(), so it would be nice if I can specify the value inside of DHtmlLayoutPortlet. Then I can add "serveResource" method to DHtmlLayoutPortal and forward the request to DHtmlUpdateServlet.

Thanks,

Kenji
