Getting Page Title

Using Model SPI to get Page title

IBM WebSphere Portal uses a concept of Models for content aggregation, to track user's pages etc. The Model SPI provides access to these models. The attached code provides an example to illustrate on how to get a title of a page using model SPI in JSR 286 portlet. Here is the code snippet to get title of page

public String getTitle(PortletRequest request, PortletResponse response)
{
Context context=null;
PortletServiceHome homeObject =null;
NavigationSelectionModelProvider provider=null;
NavigationSelectionModel navSelectionModel = null;

try
{
context = new InitialContext();
homeObject = (PortletServiceHome) context.lookup("portletservice/com.ibm.portal.portlet.service.model.NavigationSelectionModelProvider");
provider = (NavigationSelectionModelProvider) homeObject.getPortletService (NavigationSelectionModelProvider.class);
navSelectionModel = provider.getNavigationSelectionModel(request, response);
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
exception.printStackTrace();
}
NavigationNode selectedNode = (NavigationNode) navSelectionModel.getSelectedNode();
//Following is commented since there is no title for page if user's locale is US English
//String pageTitle = selectedNode.getTitle(request.getLocale());
String pageTitle = selectedNode.getTitle(Locale.ENGLISH);
