[jira] Commented: (PLUTO-42) control.getPIDValue(); always returns "", PORTLET_ID is never set

["David DeWolf (JIRA)" <pl...@jakarta.apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-42?page=comments#action_59227 ]
     
David DeWolf commented on PLUTO-42:
-----------------------------------

The ServletRequestImpl does in fact return the parameters whenever an action request targets the specified portlet.  Under these circumstances, the PID is properly set.  The PID is basically "the id of the portlet targeted by the last portlet request".

That said, the problem of the PortletRequestDispatcher is NOT properly aggregating query parameters which have been programatically appended to the path to the render parameters which allready exist.

This should be looked into further.
