Passing public parameters

Related topics

Portlets use the public APIs in the wwpro_api_parameters API package to retrieve any read-only parameters that have been passed into the URL of the current page.

Portlets obtain their parameters by calling a parameter API. Parameter values are stored by the invoking page as a series of name-value (N-V) pairs. Parameters that have more than one value are represented by repeated a name entry for each value. Requests for parameter values will return one or more values (depending on the values stored and the method used) in the order in which they were setup. In retrieval, value order is maintained.

Notes:

  • Parameter names are case insensitive.

  • Parameter values are case sensitive.
  • Parameters can used scoped names.
