RequestDispatcher dispatcher =

Answer 1

this is not allowed to work:
2 reasons:
- you try to get access to the HTTPSession. this is not allowed, the HTTPSession and so the HTTP Session Object are encapsulated by the Identiy Session, so if you need to get access to this type of information have a look at the Identity Server docs (java docs are installed onto you portal machine)
- the desktop container calls every listed container (in parallel) to include it, looking at the desktop container as a channel means looking at a hierachical structure of channels:
main channel, included channels and at the end the leaf-channel, which itself is the little window with the content.
I could understand that would you try an include of another JSP which provides some content and then the whole stuff will be rendered and included into the overall desktop (main channel).
What you do is you leave the calling JSP and so the main channel (forward the request) and expect to happen what ?
