## Class PortletUrlHelper

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.struts2.portlet.util.PortletUrlHelper

- Direct Known Subclasses:
    PortletUrlHelperJSR286

      public class PortletUrlHelper
      extends Object

  Helper class for creating Portlet URLs. Portlet URLs are fundamentally different from regular servlet URLs since they never target the application itself; all requests go through the portlet container and must therefore be programatically constructed using the `MimeResponse.createActionURL()` and `MimeResponse.createRenderURL()` APIs.
