Put your configuration in the portlet registry, take the JavaWeb portlet
entry as an example:
<portlet-entry name="JavaWeb" hidden="false" type="ref"
parent="WebPagePortlet" application="false">
<meta-info>
<title>JavaSoft</title>
<description>JavaSoft</description>
</meta-info>
<parameter name="dont_remove_applet" value="yes"
hidden="false"/>
<url>http://java.sun.com/</url>
<category>sites.companies.sun</category>
</portlet-entry>
Parameters are name value pairs, and you can access them in your
portlet.init() (which is called only once) like this:
this.getPortletConfig().getInitParameter(name) // get a single
param
Or
this.getPortletConfig().getInitParameters() // get all the
params
