Managed Attachments - creating a customCO for 'Managed Attachments' and opening a new browser/window as ActionEvent through processFormRequest()

Question

Hi All,
I am working on 'Managed Attachments' integration of Oracle E-Business Suite with Oracle WebCenter Content and I am very new to EBS.
As per the customer requirement, we needed to enable the Managed Attachments on an SIT page (Employee Self Service --> Special Information-> and click on 'Add' for any of the 'Special Information' section) and the values they fill on these pages need to be passed to webcenter content.  As you know these segment data will not be inserted into the database until the user clicks on 'Submit' button from the review page,
But the customer wants to save it on the 'Special Information' add page itself.
Managed Attachments is an out of the box feature offered by Oracle WebCenter Content to replace FND Attachments functionality. Instead of storing the attachments in EBS, it will store to WebCenter Content.
My requirements are as follows
1) Enable the managed attachments on he special information 'add' page (e.g Company Property, Disabilities etc),- I am able to do this
2) The data user fills in these fields , when user clicks on 'Managed Attachments' button , these values should be passed to the URL for managed attachments(which is already set on the button through processRequest() method when the page gets loaded) and thus pass to webcenter content
With these requirements, the challenges i am facing are
1) Since the user clicks on 'Managed Attachments' before even he/she clicks on 'Apply' button, how do I capture these values? can pageContext.getParameter('id') can get these?
(i have already tried to do this in processFormRequest() method and i found that it is working for LOV fields but not for text fields)
2) if i can get the values in processFormRequest(), how can i open a browser/window for the new URL()
e.g, i wanted to write something like this and the finalURL is what i wanted to open in a new browser or window as the actionEvent
    public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext,   OAWebBean webBean) {
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
   String param1 = pageContext.getParameter(“Param1”);
String param2 = pageContext.getParameter(“param2”);
String redirectURL = “http://rstnssiovm0072.us.oracle.com:8000/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ak/ucm/axf/webui/RedirectToAxfPG&bypassPageCounterIncr=Y&retainAM=Y”;
String paramURL = “&Parameter1=”+ param1+”&Parameter2=”+ param2;
String finalURL = redirectURL+paramURL;
Code part to open the url in a new browser/window
If anybody can help me with these part, it will be a great help
thanks a lot in advance

Hi Poornima ,
Has your prob resolved ? Have you made Managed attachment working via standard adapter as per UCM Admin guide ?
Configuring the Managed Attachments Solution - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
1. You have first store in some VO if you want to pass this metadata to UCM page , other wise it will not work .Take temp table /VO to store first then same can passed to UCM page as input parameters
2.What needs to be passed , please refer webcenter guide with key examples given
Once it is configured properly automatically params will be associated with URL which actually will open UCM page with metadata ( params) being passed.
Thanks,
