Subject: sunsets & parameters

Hello,
I already posted my question about sunsets to the list but it's very important for me to understand sunSpot and I haven't got any response.

My problem is that a sunset can't read the original request because sunSpot generator calls the sunsets. In a sunset I can read only parameters passed by sunSpot generator (persistent=false&size=max&number=10&customize=false&media=html&visible=true&id=helloworld ) .

I don't understand this function. In a portal server (jetspeed, IBM, Oracle ..) a portlet has access to the incoming request so it can uses links and forms to interact with user. Without this feature I can't integrate interactive application to sunSpot based portal since I can't uses links in sunlets.

(my test application is a helloworld with two links: if you click on frist, you get message 1; if you click on second, you get message 2. I hoped I can use two links

<a href="portal-uri/somethingsunlet-specified?message=first_message>Message 1</a>
<a href="portal-uri/somethingsunlet-specified?message=second_message>Message 2</a>
Unfortunatly I can't read the value of incoming message parameter in a sunlet because sunSpot generator eats it.

please help (on Monday I have a presentation about sunSpot and the managment won't choose this solution for our project if I can't solve this problem)
