Action attribute of FORM tag - how to reach a portlet?

["Geelen van, E (Edwin)" <E....@rf.rabobank.nl>]

Hi,

My first post here. I'm developing my first portlets, one of which uses a
form. The form should send it's fields to the same portlet. Now I'm
wondering what to put in the 'action' attribute of the form tag. I've found
how to use JSP, but overhere we use XML/XSLT for the interface definitions
and don't want to use JSP. So, how do I fill this field in the portlet
itself?
I'm now using:

PortletURI url = res.createURI();

This works insofar as the portlet is displayed after the submit, and the
field in present in the URL. But I can't read the field in my Java code. My
complete service method:

public void service(PortletRequest req, PortletResponse res) throws
PortletException, IOException {
	PrintWriter writer = res.getWriter();
	veldje = req.getParameter("invoer");
	PortletURI url = res.createURI();
	writer.println("<form method=\"PUT\" action=\""+url+"\">");
	writer.println(formContent); 		//**** variable contains
form fields
	writer.println("<br><input type=\"submit\">");
	writer.println("</form>");
	writer.println("URL = ["+url+"]<br>");
	writer.println("Field is ["+veldje+"]");
}

What am I doing wrong?

Edwin

Just figured that out myself, by default, you should post to
"/jetspeed/portal/NameOfYourPortletInTheRegistry".
Make sure you use the registered name and not the class name.
And in the getContent(RunData runData) method you can do:

        ParameterParser params = runData.getParameters();
        HttpServletRequest req = params.getRequest();

>From there on just use the request object as usual (Servlet/JSP).
Maybe there's other better ways to do that, I'm a newbie myself, this is
just what I found out.

hope that helps!
