Hi Please check liferay-portlet.xml as below :

<portlet>
        <portlet-name>dashboard</portlet-name>
        <icon>/icon.png</icon>
        <private-session-attributes>false</private-session-attributes>
        <header-portlet-css>/css/main.css</header-portlet-css>
        <footer-portlet-javascript>
            /js/main.js
        </footer-portlet-javascript>
        <css-class-wrapper>dashboard-portlet</css-class-wrapper>
        <add-default-resource>true</add-default-resource>
    </portlet>

Private session attribute should be false.

<private-session-attributes>false</private-session-attributes>

Hi can you please tell me Fetch the session object set in liferay theme java method into portlet doView() method

i have a below method in theme:

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain filterChain)throws IOException,             ServletException {
  ((HttpServletRequest) request).getSession().setAttribute("test", "abc");
   }

i am trying to fetch above session object in doView method of portlet.

HttpSession httpSession =PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest(renderRequest).getSession();
System.out.println("httpSession obj"+(String)httpSession.getAttribute("test"));

i even tried using as below :

HttpServletRequest request1 =PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest(renderRequest);
HttpServletRequest originalRequest = PortalUtil.getOriginalServletRequest(request1);
HttpSession httpsession = originalRequest.getSession();
System.out.println("httpSession ==> " + httpsession);//session object gets printed
System.out.println("test "+httpsession.getAttribute("test"));//null

i get the null value when i try to fetch from doview method. Can anyone please suggest how to fetch the value from theme to portal
