Hello all.

I am using JBoss 4.0.5, JBoss portal 2.6 and JBoss seam 1.1.0.

My usecase is this:

I have a default portal and a page called 'Contacts' which contains two portlet 
instances 'PortletInstanceInternalContacts' and 
'PortletInstanceExternalContacts'.
The instances originiates from the same portlet 'MyContactsPortlet'.


  | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  | <portlet-app
  |       xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd";
  |       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
  |       
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd 
/opt/SUNWps/dtd/portlet.xsd"
  |       version="1.0">
  |    <portlet>
  |       <portlet-name>MyContactsPortlet</portlet-name>
  |       <init-param>
  |          <name>default-view</name>
  |          <value>/contacts.jsp</value>
  |       </init-param>
  |       
<portlet-class>org.apache.myfaces.portlet.MyFacesGenericPortlet</portlet-class>
  |       <supports>
  |          <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
  |          <portlet-mode>VIEW</portlet-mode>
  |       </supports>
  |       <portlet-info>
  |          <title></title>
  |       </portlet-info>
  |    </portlet>
  |    
  | </portlet-app>
  | 

The difference between the two instances is that they shall display slightly 
different data from backend.
The solution would be to send a parameter from the portletinstance to backend 
to sort of identify itself and 
be able to fetch correct data. 


My question is:

I want to create multiple instances of the same portlet and be able to identify 
the instances from each other 
to populate them with data based on a parameter.

How can I get this parameter?

What can/should it be based on?

Is the portletinstance name feasable and how can I find out this 
portletinstance name?
