Portlet namespace and request parameters

[Nils-Helge Garli]

Hi!

I was wondering if pluto should transparently support namespace
encoding of request parameters? I tried adding the portlet namespace
to some form elements, but they returned null when I tried getting
them with portletRequest.getParameter(nonEncodedName). I'm aware that
I don't have to encode form elements, but I believe I have seen other
containers support this. If it does support it, and this is just a bug
in my code, could you please tell me where the "decoding" of the
request parameters happen?

This is why forms must use POST and not GET. I'm not sure how the Pluto
driver handles this but uPortal, which uses the Pluto container,
differentiates between URL and form parameters and form parameters are
automatically associated with the portlet that generated the form's
action URL.
