p_name | The name of the portlet parameter. Datatype: in varchar2
p_reference_path | A unique identifier for a portlet instance on the current page. Datatype: in varchar2
Returns: Returns a list of parameter values, or an empty list if no matches are found. Exceptions: This function raises no exceptions. Example: If a URL has these parameters: http://.......?empno=10;&deptno=10;&a.deptno= 20;a.deptno=25;&a.folderid=30 Then this call: l_values owa.vc_arr; l_values := wwpro_api_parameters.get_values ( p_name =>'depno', p_reference_path =>'a' ); Returns: 20 and 25 for l_values.

Notes
An overloaded API is one that has more than one function or procedure of the same name, but with differing numbers and/or types of parameters. A portlet instance is the display of a portlet on a single page. The same portlet may be displayed multiple times on the same page. Each time a portlet is added to a page, Oracle Portal generates a unique portlet instance ID that is the instance's reference path.
