How to pass parameter as http POST in pageContext.setForwardURL

Question

Hi,
I need to call a third party application page in my custom OAF page. I need to pass parameter to this third party page using POST method. I am using following command to call that -
HashMap hm = new HashMap();
hm.put("FirstName",firstName );
hm.put("LastName",lastName);
hm.put("AppSignature", signature);
pageContext.setForwardURL(hopURL,
null, // not necessary with KEEP_MENU_CONTEXT
OAWebBeanConstants.KEEP_MENU_CONTEXT, // no change to menu context
null, // No need to specify since we're keeping menu context
hm, // request parameters
false, // retain the root application module
OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_YES, // display breadcrumbs
OAException.ERROR);
I am passing parameter to the page using hash map table. That application is expecting the parameters in POST format and I believe using hash map table the parameters will be passed as GET format.
We figured that out because one of the parameter we have to send is AppSignature which is 160 characters long. When third party applicatoin received that parameter they got only 151 characters, looks like they are truncated by GET method.
Any idea how to pass parameter using POST format so that this issue could be fixed.

Sumit,
Thanks for your reply. I have resolved this issue by forwarding all parameters in session using pageContext.putSessionValueDirect and redirect to a jsp using pageContext.redirectImmediately.
in jsp I read the params from session and set in the form , and then redirected to my third party application.
