T5.3 - What's the easiest way to detect the current request type?

[Robert Hailey]

Greetings,

I've run into a case where I must be able to tell if the current request is a 
page-render request, or component-event request from within an onActivate() 
function.

Is there a common/easy/concise way to do this?

Something like:

public
class MyPage
{
        @Inject
        private Request request;

        void onActivate()
        {
                prequel();

                //NB: none of these work :)
                if (request instanceof PageRenderRequest)
                {
                        doSomething();
                }

                //NB: or maybe...
                if (request.isComponentEventRequest())
                {
                        doSomethingElse();
                }

                sequel();
        }
}

It would be a lot of work to reorganize the code around the setupRender() 
function, so I'd much rather a simple test.

Does anyone know how this can be done?
