How to create DynPage based on user parameter and than implement it?

Question

Hello,
I've written a Portal Application which contains a Portal Object which is a DynPage.
I am using NWDS for development and NW 04 Patch 11 as the portal.
This DynPage process something according to a hardcoded URL. I would like to transform this URL to a parameter which will be received from the user.
Can someone please explain me the whole process with a simple example that includes:
1. How to change the code/project to receive parameter from the user?
2. How to change the iView configuration which is based on this PAR file to send the user parameter.
3. Where the user should enter it's parameter once all done?
Thank you.
Roy

Hi Roy,
     If i understand your question properly, then you should do the following. This will let you change the value globally for all the users as an iview parameter. If you edit the iview then you will see the property that you have added to portalapp.xml.
1. Modify your portalapp.xml to accept iview personalization.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<application>
  <application-config>
    <property name="PrivateSharingReference" value="com.sap.portal.htmlb"/>
  </application-config>
  <components>
    <component name="links_tree">
      <component-config>
        <property name="ClassName" value="com.sap.sen.gcp.km.links.links_tree"/>
        <property name="SecurityZone" value="com.sap.sen.gcp.km.links/high_safety"/>
      </component-config>
      <component-profile>
        <b><property name="url" value="/documents"/></b>
      </component-profile>
    </component>
  </components>
  <services/>
</application>
3. The following code will get you the value of path.
IPortalComponentRequest request = (IPortalComponentRequest) this.getRequest();
IPortalComponentContext myContext = request.getComponentContext();
IPortalComponentProfile profile = myContext.getProfile();
<b>String url = profile.getProperty("url");</b>
