James, you can do that by implementing the interface org.apache.jetspeed.portal.Portlet and registering that class as a portlet. In that class you can evaluate all paramters, i. e. all fields from the form. Look into the Portlet-Howto: http://www.bluesunrise.com/jetspeed-docs/PortletHowTo.htm - the doc is very good. Concerning the restore-button: You can show all pages (the form as well as the "answer") by the same Java-class. You just need some sort of "action"-paramter indicating if the user submitted the form or pressed the restore-button (which submits a form as well, but it has only one invisible field, the "action" field). This solution is very similar to writing a servlet - there might be others, but this is simple and works - the Volkswagen-solution:-). Hope it helps Stefan
