JSP DynPage Component - how to launch and pass a parameter

Hi folks,

I have created a component based on a JSP DynPage and uploaded the par to the Portal (EP5 SP5).

I would like to launch this component from a link (url) from another page and also pass a parameter as part of the url. The JSP DynPage should then retrieve the parameter from the request.

I have tried to launch the component and pass a parameter called name using the following url and then retrieve the value from the request object(as per standard JSP practice)http://<portalIP:port>/irj/<etc>....<MyComponentName.default>?name=Adam

but this doesn't appear to work.

Can anyone see where I'm going wrong or provide a different way of achieving this?

Thanks.

p.s. good to see that there's other people with Java and SAP skills!
