I assume the project was created with RAD7 and uses jsf-portletbridge.jar? I
f so, then the problem is due to the fact the jsf-portlet bridge wraps with 
request object and thus it stops being "internal portlet request" that one o
f the methods you are using
apparently requires. To get to the orifinal request object you can use:
[code]
PortletRequest request = (PortletRequest) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().
getExternalContext().getRequest();
PorletRequest internalRequest = request.getPortletRequest();
[/code]
