Hi Stan, I tried the following ways but could not succeed: 1)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("vijay_form:ADM_USER_ID"); 2) ((PortletRequest)request).getParameter("vijay_form:ADM_USER_ID"); 3) request.getParameter("vijay_form:ADM_USER_ID"); 4)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("ADM_USER_ID"); I tried quickly going through the MyFaces link you sent previously. But I could not find (probably I missed a lot..to be read) any help where I could know how to retrieve the value. But in your previous reply you were mentioning that my approach was not correct. Could you please explain and/or give more details into what should be my approach to retrieve the values. I really appreciate your time on my issue. I am a beginner and I do not have much help from anyone who might know/worked with JSF before. Thanks very much, Vijay View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4026792#...
