Hi Stan, Are you saying that if I have the below form element: <h:inputText value="" required="true" id="ADM_USER_ID" /> Then I can access the above field value in my portlet's doView() method (which extends MyFacesGenericPortlet) using renderRequest.getParameter(paramName) ? If that is so, then getParameter(paramName) accepts the name of the field and not the ID of the field, right? Then in the above code I do not have a name for the field but I have an ID. So how do I access it's value now? Is there some thing more that I need to do? Please help. Thanks much, Vijay View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4026753#...
