Thomas,

The version on yesterday was a bit buggy. I attach a new version that I tested more seriously.

> JBoss Portlet container conforms to the spec so well that it becomes unusable. It is impossible to query the end-user for a value and pass that value in processAction or serveResource calls. Let's say you write this in your JSP page :
> <form action="<portlet:actionURL><portlet:param name='q' value='yop'/></portlet:actionURL">
> <input name="q" type="text/>
> <input type="submit"/>
> </form>
> and in the Java code
> 	public void processAction(ActionRequest req, ActionResponse res)
> 			throws IOException, PortletException {
> 		System.out.println(req.getParameter("q");
>         }
> The printed value will allways be "yop" (the value placed in the portlet:param tag. There is no way to retrieve the value actually typed by the end user.
> This is due to the fact JBoss Portlet container mangles in Base64 the parameters from <portlet:param> and disregards parameters appended by the browser's form implementation. Same thing with <resourceURL>. There is no way to pass user input to the portlet's Java code.
