Parameterized portlet initialization

[ikazarno]

Hi,

how can I put some parameters on my portlet during the portlet initialization (first rendering)? Our partner has a website with a link that invokes our portal application and contains some URL parameters (http://192....:8080/portal/portal/myportal?param=value). If I try to read out the parameter with renderRequest.getParameter(?param?) I get null, since it is in the scope of http-Request but not in the scope of the portelt-Request. How could I solve this problem?

Thanks

Igor

Look at how portal urls are created, and then tell them to do the same formatting. Sample:

http://domain.com/auth/index.html?ctrl:cmd=render&ctrl:windowstate=maximized&ctrl:window=default.Home.UserPortletWindow¶m=blah&foo=bar

Its hackish, but it'll work.

Hi Roy,

Thanks for your answer!

I have tried to invoke the application with

http://127.0.0.1:8080/portal/portal/myportal? ctrl:cmd=render&ctrl:windowstate=normal&ctrl:window=myportal.MyHomePage.MyPortletWindow¶param=value.

However renderRequest.getParameter(?param?) returns a null. Is the URL I?m using wrong or it works only for a default portal instance?
