I am using jboss portal 2.6 with JSF-RI. I have a portlet from which I create various instances. When I click on the link associated with an instance I would like to know which instance I just accessed. This is important for the backing bean, since that information will be used to display data for that one instance. I have been screeming, crying, whining, and even googled that for a few days without much progress. Is there a way to do that? Please Help
