Hi Shailesh,

You can harcode a link to "/portal/yourpage" or walk into the portal hierarchy to find your pages.
Follows an example how to do that:

import org.jboss.portal.api.node.PortalNode;
import org.jboss.portal.api.node.PortalNodeURL;
import org.jboss.portlet.JBossRenderRequest;
import org.jboss.portlet.JBossRenderResponse;
import org.jboss.portal.core.impl.api.node.PortalNodeImpl;

....

protected void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response) throws PortletException, UnavailableException {
....

 String myPageName = "MyPageName"; // this is your page name that you´re looking for
 JBossRenderRequest req = (JBossRenderRequest) request;
 PortalNode currentNode = req.getPortalNode();
 while (currentNode.getType() != PortalNode.TYPE_PORTAL) {
 currentNode = currentNode.getParent();
 }
 for (Iterator i = currentNode.getChildren().iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
 PortalNode child = (PortalNode)i.next();
 if (child.getType() == PortalNode.TYPE_PAGE) {
 if (child instanceof PortalNodeImpl) {
 if (child.getName().equals(myPageName)) {
 PortalNodeURL childURL = ((JBossRenderResponse)response).createRenderURL(child);
 System.out.println("url to mypage = " + childURL.toString());
 break;
 }
 }
 }
 }

There is a good example with the source code.
Check out this portlet:
core\src\main\org\jboss\portal\core\portlet\catalog\CatalogPortlet.java

You can also verify if the user is allowed to access it before redirect.

Hope this help.

regards,
