Getting URL parameter in Web Dynpro when using iViews in netweaver portal

Question

Hello Everybody,
I'm having the following issue:
I created a WD-Application which would be accessed directly via URL with some parameters.
Getting these parameters works fine using the logic from the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/45/2233b60c21072ce10000000a155369/frameset.htm
Now I want to implement my WD-Application into the netweaver portal.
My colleagues customized it that far, so that I can access the WD via a portal-link.
The only thing is, that the logic getting the URL parameters from above does not seem to work in this context any more.
Do I need different coding getting the parameters from the portal URL or is this a matter of missing "portal-customizing"?
Any ideas in this matter are kindly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,
I'm doing the same and it works fine.
Here is my coding:
  DATA: lt_url_parameters TYPE tihttpnvp.
  data: ls_url_parameters type line of tihttpnvp.
* Read URL Parameters
  wdevent->get_data( EXPORTING name  = if_wd_application=>all_url_parameters
                     IMPORTING value  = lt_url_parameters ).
  read table lt_url_parameters into ls_url_parameters with key name = 'MODE'.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    case ls_url_parameters-value.
      when '1'.
      when '2'.
   endcase.
  endif.
Check the following:
1.) are you using the event handler "HANDLEDEFAULT" of your WINDOW to get the url parameters?!
2.) in the portal iview with your wd application, the property "Application Parameters" has to be filled (in my example:  mode=1)
If you need the value in the init method of your first view, you can store the parameter in an attribute of your component controler and read it in your view.
Regards,
Andreas
