How to read the "Portlet Title"?

Question

Hi;
this is the function taken from the portlets.collobaration.common.c11n.personalSecurityListener.java
public boolean isEditAvailable()
     /*JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "1",
"isAvailable-2", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);*/
return true;
I want to edit this function in order to decide wether the user in the "entitlet users group" to edit the calendar entry.
My Assumption : The title of calendar is equal to the group name, and the users (who will edit the calendar entry) added into that group.
So,
step-1: I am getting the username. *(THIS IS OK)*
step-2: Reading the (caller) calendar portlet's title (this is the group name) *(This is the QUESTION)*
step-3: checking the user is in the group or not?* (THIS IS OK)*
I can not able to read the current calendar portlet's title. How can I read the calendar portlet's title at step 2?
Thanks in advance.
Here is my code...*
public boolean isEditAvailable()
     /*Step-1: Obtain the username*/
     String userName = Myrequest.getUserPrincipal().getName();
     boolean recurse=true;
     boolean memberUser=false;
     AtnProviderDescription defaultAtnDesc = AtnSecurityMgmtHelper.getDefaultProvider();
     AtnManagerProxy proxy = new AtnManagerProxy(defaultAtnDesc);
/*Step-2: Find the groupname*/
string groupName="it should be the current calendar portlet's title which shown on the page"; //????????????????
/*Step-3: test the user is in this group or not*/
     try {
          memberUser = proxy.isMemberUser(*groupName*, userName, recurse);
     } catch (OperationNotSupportedException e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          //e.printStackTrace();
return memberUser;

Answer 1

This will work by getting the url query string and getting value from one of query parameters. But this is not recommended. Best approach is as mentioned earlier using APIs and Backing Contexts Files. Because in future just incase if WLP Framework implementation changes and if the url has some other different parameters, you may need to modify your code. So best is to use Backing contexts APIs.
