Can I add my parameter in address bar when calling form?

Question

Hi,
I need to call form with parameter.
I'm calling reports with parameters. For example: [http://server:7778/reports/rwservlet?report=/home/oracle/report.rdf&userid=usr/pass@db&P_PARAMETER1=value&P_PARAMETER2=value]
I need to do the same with form.
I tried but couldnot success. How can I do that?
I tried with: [http://server:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=/home/oracle/form.fmx&userid=usr/pass@db&P_PARAMETER1=value&P_PARAMETER2=value]
I added WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE in form:
declare
pl_id paramList;
parameter_type number;
parameter_value varchar2 (200);
begin
pl_id := get_parameter_list ('default');
if not id_null (pl_id) then
get_parameter_attr (pl_id, 'P_PARAMETER1', parameter_type, parameter_value);
destroy_parameter_list (pl_id);
if parameter_value is not null then
USING PARAMETER...
end if;
end if;
end;

Hello,
In the url, the private parameters must be placved after the otherparams key word:
http://server.../frmservelt?config=MY_CONFIG&otherparams=the_param=the_value&...
The parameter list is not used in this case.
These parameters must exist in your Forms module in order to be used via the :PARAMETER object:
Declare
  value varchar2(100);
Begin
  value := :PARAMETER.the_param ;
End;Francois
