Jsr168 portlet problem

Question

Hi,
I am creating a JSR168 compliant portlet with
A single form that contains:
- a search field
- a table that displays radiobuttons and search query results
- a button that sets a navigation parameter depending on the itemID that was picked from the table
The problem is that while my search-query parameter is processed fine when running the application locally,
I can not access the input parameter when the portlet is deployed to an OC4J container on a Webcenter Application Server and running in an ADF Faces jspx dashboard.
In my portlet JSP page I have the search field:
<input type="text" name="query">
and I process it with a page refresh and the following:
request.getParameter("query")
which turns out to be null in the deployed portlet.
when I do request.getParameterNames() I get different results depending on whether I run the application in JDeveloper, or when I deploy the portlet and I run it in the dashboard.
getParameterNames() in the deployed portlet only displays my navigation parameter, while getParameterNames() running locally only displays my query parameter.
It seems as if parameters need to be treated differently. Any input would be appreciated!

Hi,
In view.jsp, I have the following under <portlet:defineObjects/>:
String actionURL = "view.jsp";
if (renderResponse != null) {
actionURL = renderResponse.createActionURL().toString();
My form is defined like this:
<form method="POST" action="<%= actionURL %>">
Thanks in advance!
