The "filter" may not work either because the url's are not guaranteed to
actually CARRY your parameters as payload. They may be stored
internally to the portal and only a token (to represent all the
parameters) saved on the url. I'm not sure how the weblogic portal does it.
What you are trying to do needs to be container specific and you need to
be able to generate a URL that refers to the workspace your trying to
reference.
One thing you may want to look at that's coming with JSR-286 is
eventing. The reason I suggest you look at this is that, to a large
extent, your current architecture is contrary to what is being defined
in 286, yet the 286 processes may well let you accomplish your ultimate
goal.

Hi I have a small problem which I'm trying to figure out the best
solution to.
We have a portal (Weblogic 10) which has different desktops (portal
files) for different operational phases, as the available content
differs greatly from phase to phase. The majority of our portlets are
JSF portlets.
In the header of each portal desktop there is a JSF portlet which can be
used to select the date to be shown and therefore the phase and desktop
to be shown. I have a method on a managed bean which can identify which
desktop has to be shown, but using this within the JSF context to
navigate to a different portal desktop is not going to work.
The problem is how do I forward to the new desktop from within the
portlet which is in the action part of its JSF life cycle? I can't use
the standard JSF navigation as this would only apply to the contents of
the portlet and not of the portal as a whole.
I have a nasty feeling I will have to put a filter in and check the
selected date before I display the desktop. This will mean rooting
around in the URL which is sent when the form containing the date
selection is submitted.
Before I do this I was just wondering if anyone else had a more elegant
solution.
Thanks
Sandy
