Hello,

Let's say I have 3 web-proxy portlets on a page, I call them portlet A, portlet B and portlet C. Now I wanna to call & pass parameters to portlet A from browser's url, for example: I'll type this:http://localhost:8080/web/guest;portlet A-params=abc. Can I do that?

Hey,
Not in a get. All the requests on a web proxy portlet go to /pbhs/{id}/not-used not /web/guest/. /pbhs/ receives the request and retrieves the request parameters based on the id in the url. /pbhs/ sends the retrieved request to the configured host. /pbhs/ saves the returned content. /pbhs/ then sends a redirect to the user for the portlet i.e. /web/guest/. On a post you might be able to use firebug to modify the form before it is posted. The bottom line is that if /pbhs/ doesn't find that id you won't be doing much.
I modified /pbhs/ to look for p_p_state in order to by-pass the situation in order to get an exclusive window state. I didn't want the page reloaded just a frame in the content.

Thank you for your clear explanation. I'll try.

Hello,

I'm stuck, plz help me.

Do you know how the id of each web proxy portlet is generated, can we assign a static id to each?

Hey,

If you want to get at the {id} in the url, you'd probably want to check out org.portletbridge.portlet.GUIDGenerator.

If you're wanting to pass in some parameters on the initial screen consider implementing org.portletbridge.portlet.InitUrlFactory and setting that in the portlet config for the init-param with a name of initUrlFactoryClassName and a value of your fully qualified class name.

I get what I want with this method:

But I still have a problem:user can add or remove many proxy portlet, and each portlet has its own task. I dont know how to control portlet instance id now. Any suggestion?

My setup has web proxy with a portlet-name of 66. All the instances have an id of something like 66_INSTANCE_%. Maybe you can do something like

ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay)renderRequest.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);
if ( themeDisplay.getPortletDisplay().getInstanceId().startsWith( "66_INSTANCE" ) ) {
...
