How can I put report parameters and report on the same page?

Question

I want to have a page that has user input (text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc.) at the top of the page, with a submit button. When the user submits the page, I want the resulting report (returned from a query) to display below the input area.
With ASP or JSP I would write a page with a FORM at the top, with the ACTION submitting to the same page. If the ASP/JSP detects it was submitted (by looking at the request URL or form parameters), it queries the database and displays the report; otherwise it doesn't query the DB or show any report.
How would I do this with with portlets?
Thanks!

1. Create a form using the Appbuilder
2. build a report
3. create a dynamic page, in this page
call the form, then query the databse:
<oracle>
begin
portal30.wwa_app_module.new_instance(
p_moduleid=>1060253649);
end;
</oracle>
<p>
<oracle>
begin
scott.example_report.show(
p_arg_names=>portal30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table('_show_header'),
p_arg_values=>portal30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table('NO')
end;
</oracle>
4. expose this dynamic page as a portlet <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I tried the above, but it didn't work. The form was displayed, but I couldn't find any way to make it go to the report. Is there something more that needs to be done? I'm new to Portal, so any help you can give me on entering parameters and passing them to a form (preferably on the same physical page) would be appreciated.
