By entering some details in a portlet and clicking submit, the entered parameters should be passed to the another portlet. Can you please any one help on htis?

You're going to find this a challenge in JSR168.

Portlets in a common war can share data in the PortletSession through the APPLICATION scope, but I'm not sure if that solves your problem.

I might ask why it's a second portlet that needs the first portlet's data? Could you change the design of the app to be more portal friendly? What about having a single portlet accept the data, but switch on which JSP it might send the data to?

Working with the portal requires a mind shift. You have to start thinking like a portal developer, and not a Servlet/JSP developer. Portal requires a mind shift.

Maybe you can describe what you're trying to accomplish, as opposed to how you are trying to do it? Maybe we can provide some insight.

Good luck!

Hi

As mentioned early, there is a sample way to pass parameters among portlets:

by page's parameters.

Here is a real example:

Hi Cameron,

I am working on a portal server. But very confused about how to set the requirement with it.

I would like to know what mind shift is required to develop portal application.

Please advice me.
