How to get parameters from the URL?

5/11/08 8:47 PM

Hi all,

Seemslike a very simple thing to do, but I've been at it for a while now andjust can't seem to get it to work! Here's my situation:

I havecreated a new page and assigned a friendlyURL to it. On that page, I'veplaced several custom portlets (Struts-based) - all of this is takingplace in it ext environment. All I would like to do is to be able toprovide a parameter in the URL and retrieve that parameter in any ofthe portlets - how do I go about doing this?

I've tried theobvious request.getParameter/request.getAttribute as well as variousmethods in the ParamUtil class, but it just doesn't seem to work. Imust be missing something obvious here - any advice would be greatlyappreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Phil,

i've had the same problems and i've used the following code:

import com.liferay.portal.util.PortalUtil;

HttpServletRequest httpReq = PortalUtil.getOriginalServletRequest(PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest(req));
String myArticleId = httpReq.getParameter("articleId");


Note that this is a sort of hack that i've found, not an official solution.
