How to link 2 page flow controllers in Workshop

Question

Hello there,
I have been playing with rowSet controls and page flows in WorkShop for a few days now and I can see that the creation of both of these is straight forward.
The question that I have is ... having created the page flow for a given rowSet control, say, "customersController.jpf" -- how can I click on a given row and pass a parameter to, say, "ordersControler.jpf" and have ordersController.jpf query the database based on the parameter passed to it?
At this point I have these 2 page flows which work okay in isolation. So, we have:
/customers/customersController.jpf    [custid, name, address, etc]
/orders/ordersController.jpf    [orderid, date, total, etc]
I have already managed to pass the custid parameter when clicking on the custid field for a given customer on the customersController.jpf page.
URL looks something like this:
http://localhost:7001/myApp/customers/showOrders.do?_autoscope__rowId=customersControllerGridName%7ECUSTID%7E1004
"showOrders.do" is, of course, an action that calls ordersController.jpf.
We can see that the customer id (CUSTID) parameter is being passed (1004). Now, how can I modify ordersController.jpf and orders.jcx so that only the orders for customer 1004 are returned by ordersController.jpf? By default, all the order in the database are returned.
Thanks a million,
Manuel

Hi manu_moreno,
You should create an Event handler.
On the Property Editor, click on the "Event Handler" option.
On "Add Handler..." you should select "Handle Page Flow Event". This way you can trigger a Page Flow action everytime an action in another portlet is called.
The parameters I suggest you put on the Session.
Hope this Helps,
