RE: Two portlets communicting together

[Chris Widhelm]

If you are extending AbstractPortlet then your getContent method expects
RunData.   You can use the RunData to get information from the request.

        String parameterValue = runData.getRequest().getAttribute(
"parameterName" );

Just make sure that your links just use
href="?param1=param1value&param2=param2value".  This will cause the link to
post to the same page while putting param1 and param2 onto the request.

Hope this helps.
