Hi Ate,

OK, I made the changes you detailed and tried this and what happens is:

(1) Clicking on link goes to LocaleAction (ActionUrl).  Using remote
debugging in eclipse with a breakpoint in LocaleAction.execute(), the
PortletServletRequestWrapper object contains an ApplicationContextFacade and
a ServletRequestImpl.  The ServletRequestImpl contains an
ApplicationHttpRequestObject.  The queryParamString member of the
ApplicationHttpRequestObject holds the params
"language=ja&forward=testredirect".  (This is what I saw in my example also)

(2) In LocaleAction the following code is run:

target = request.getParameter(FORWARD);

This returns null - the parameter "forward=testredirect" is not found in the
request.  This causes the following code to be executed:

if (isBlank(target)) target = mapping.getParameter();
....
return mapping.findForward(target);

"target" is the default welcome global mapping from the struts-config.xml,
so the WelcomeAction is called.

So in fact for me it appears that request params are being lost wholesale -
irrespective of whether or not it is a redirect or a simple forward.  I am
using Tomcat 5.5.4, Windows XP, JDK 1.4.2_05, JetSpeed M1.  I will try later
today with Tomcat 5.0.28 which I also have.

If I run the above code with the old version - which expressly parses the
querystring in StrutsPortlet and passes it into
PortletServletRequestWrapper, it works as you describe.  I'm a bit stumped
here. :-)

Can you help me understand where the params go in the new
PortletServletRequestWrapper?  In the old PortletServletRequestWrapper I
could see that in DispatchedHttpServletRequestWrapper they were parsed into
a map.  I'm unsure as to where they end up now.

Thanks,
Colin.

Colin,

I took some time to create a testcase with a similar flow as you described
earlier.
For this, I used the struts-demo as provided with Jetspeed-2.
Could you please check if this is indeed a flow like you have?
If that is the case then could you report back if it indeed doesn't work for
you
(while it is for me). I've tested this out with Tomcat 5.0.28, Windows XP
and JDK 1.4.2_04.

Here is the testcase:

- add a new global-forward to the struts-config.xml:

   <forward name="testredirect"
path="/Locale.do?language=ru&amp;page=/Welcome.do" redirect="true"/>

- in the welcome.jsp change:

     <html:link action="/Locale?language=ja"
useLocalEncoding="true">Japanese</html:link>
   to:
     <html:link action="/Locale?language=ja&forward=testredirect"
useLocalEncoding="true">Japanese</html:link>

With these changes and selecting the Japanese language on the welcome
screen, the LocaleAction
will be invoked (ActionURL) to set the Japanese language and than forward to
the new testredirect forward.
The testredirect forward redirects (as in your case the Filter.do) back to
the LocaleAction but now for
setting the Russian language (using query_string parameters) and finally
forward to the Welcome screen again.
The end result for the user is that the Locale is set to Russian instead of
Japanese :-)

This works without problems for me!
I also turned on logging and to show it indeed works as expected, here is a
trimmed part of the logging:
...
PropertyMessageResources - loadLocale(nl)
...
StrutsPortlet - process path: /Locale.do?language=ja&forward=testredirect,
requestType: ACTION
processForwardConfig(ForwardConfig[name=testredirect,path=/Locale.do?languag
e=ru&page=/Welcome.do,redirect=true,...
StrutsPortlet - action render redirected page:
/Locale.do?language=ru&page=/Welcome.do
navstate
decoded=[[window:15,action:true,parameters:[_spage:[/Locale.do?language=ja&f
orward=testredirect]]]
navstate
decoded=[[window:15,mode:view,state:normal,parameters:[_kra:[1],_spage:[/Loc
ale.do?language=ru&page=/Welcome.do]]]
StrutsPortlet - process path: /Locale.do?language=ru&page=/Welcome.do,
requestType: VIEW
processForwardConfig(ForwardConfig[name=null,path=/Welcome.do,redirect=false
,...
...
PropertyMessageResources - loadLocale(ru)

Regards, Ate
