JSP portlet access to its customizer attributes

["Fletcher, Boyd C. J9C534" <Bo...@je.jfcom.mil>]

Is there a way to get and set a portlet's customizer attributes including the portlet's title from in a JSP application? The initial values for the params set in the portlet's .xreg file. I'm trying to avoid writing a JspPortletAction class (yes, i know its not MVC compliant ;). But this seems like something that should be doable with the Jetspeed JSP taglibs but they don't appear to have this capability exposed. I'm using 1.4b3 on Tomcat 4.1.24.

The application is a JSP application w/ no action part. The JSP App connects to a database and pulls a list and displays it to the user. The user can then use the portlet's customizer to select which set of items from the list it should display the next time the portlet is redrawn. There are multiple instances of this portlet running on the page so apparently I have to change the title in order for the customizer attributes for each portlet to be unique. Ideally, I would like use a selection box for the list of items to select in the customizer, but initially just entering the numbers will do.

thanks,

boyd

There should be no problem of running multiple instances of a portlet on the
same page (even if the title is the same). See Jsp Stock Portfolio portlet
in 1.4b4-dev (CVS head).
