You can also subclass your portlet and make the "type" static for each subclass. Then name each portlet accordingly. E.g.:
Portlet Name PersonListedByFather PersonListedByMother PersonListedByFamilyName ... Instead of Person (type="byFather") Person (type="byMother") Person (type="byFamilyName") ... If you encapsulated your code well, taking that approach would be fairly trivial as a overloaded "getType()" call could be one of the only methods in each of the subclasses. In this case, this approach seems more favorable to me than trying to create some clever way of storing your own parameters. HTH. Dave -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
