Try adding the following:

import javax.portlet.ActionRequest;

...
ActionRequest actionRequest = (ActionRequest) ctx.getExternalContext().getRequest();
HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest) actionRequest.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request");

WLP 10.3.2 "Sunshine" Released Today

Go to Oracle WebLogic Portal 10gR3 (10.3.2) for the download.

Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11gR1 Released

From the description on the product page, this is a new version of WebLogic Workshop, but without the WebLogic Portal tools. WLP has a new release due out soon, and Oracle is focusing on their other IDE, so this makes sense, even if it doesn't make old-time WebLogic developers feel all warm and fuzzy (or remembered).
