dear all, i think from view.jsp to view2.jsp is through the processAction() method in the portlet. public void processAction(ActionRequest aRequest, ActionResponse aResponse) throws PortletException, IOException, UnavailableException { String sYourname = (String) aRequest.getParameter("yourname"); // do something aResponse.setRenderParameter("yourname", sYourname); } But again, is it everytime processAction() will automatically call the doView() after that?? If not, where is the linkage between processAction() and doView()?? thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4124700#...
