Retrieving the 'SlingHttpServletRequest request' from a parent node.

[kennyhank]

Hi Community!

For some reasons I need to retrieve the 'SlingHttpServletRequest request' from a parent node and I'm not be able to do it, I have already the request from the actual node but I'm passing on HTL an wcmmode='disabled' fixed value, this is why I'm going to need the parent request, sample code here:

          Resource resource = request.getResource();       

          Resource parent = resource.getParent();

          SlingHttpServletRequest requestParent = parent.adaptTo(SlingHttpServletRequest.class);

This is how I'm trying on the constructor on my class, but always I retrieve null as requestParent value.

I'll appreciate any suggestions on this, thanks in advance.

From what I think:

- Authorable options for a particular component should be kept in its own dialog. As you are using same component(which may not be used on its own), it should still have it own dialog.. Its component group can be hidden and these can be added statically in parent component.

- If you are still keen on storing it in parent dialog, you can fetch the values from parent resource directly without adapting it to request object. You already have the child(social share object) and you get parent of it and then fetch whatever values you need from there.
