Sourav,
Portals don't work like you want them too. Portlets cannot receive
request parameters added to a generic portlet URL. These url's need to
be encoded. You only real option here is to have your external page
launch the portal and then the user would need to do navigation from
within the portlet itself to get to the data they need. The JSR-168
Portlet spec does not support "GET" requests - that is they do not
support modifying the parameters on a GET request after it has been
encoded (or in the case of the Action, after getting the url string).
That said, my advice would be to access your JSF application stand-alone
when launched from your external page. If that's not possible, you might
want to make your external page a portlet and look at using JSR-286
(still under development) eventing to invoke your portlet into the mode
you need. The latter suggestion is not appropriate for a short term
solution because not only is JSR-286 not final, it will also require
JSR-301 (also not final), and JSF 1.2.

Hi All,
I’ve a MyFaces (1.1.4) Portlet deployed in jboss portal server.
First time I need to access this portlet from a non-JSF (jsp) page
which sends a http post request with some request parameters.
The solution does not work when the request does not have any request
parameter (works fine when accessed by a request with no request
parameter).
When I try to read the request parameter(s) in the constructor of the
managed bean they come as null.
I tried extending the processAction() method of MyFacesGenericPortlet.
I read the request parameters from the ActionRequest and set them in
RenderRequest using setRenderParameter (This anyway one has to do for
a jsp based portlet implementation). With this approach I can read the
request parameters in the constructor of the managed bean.
I would like to validate whether this is a known limitation of
MyFacesGenericPortlet and the solution approach mentioned above is
right one (or any other approach is recommended) ?
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
