Multiple JSPs with JSR 168-compliant Java portlet

Question

Hi,
I have an application with multiple JSPs that I'm trying to run in a portlet. Looks like a JSR 168 Java Portlet is the best way to do that. I want to avoid using proprietary PDK Portlet route.
A few questions:
1. Is there any sample of that available with multiple JSPs?
2. More specifically, if I have a form element in one jsp, can I specify another JSP in the action element, or do I have to use an actionURL or renderURL?
3. Also, how can I can debug my Java portlet from JDeveloper?
Thanks.

Hi,<br>
I'm building a JSR 168 Java portlet. I've been trying to pass params from my JSP using actionURL in my jsp, like so:<br><br>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="<portlet:renderURL/>">
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="4" CELLSPACING="0" BGCOLOR="#eeeeee">
<TR>
<TD ALIGN="right">
<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1 ">User Name:</FONT>
</TD>
<TD>
<INPUT NAME="userName" SIZE="12" MAXLENGTH="32">
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>
<INPUT NAME="action" SIZE="12" TYPE="hidden" value="Login">
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</FORM>
<br><br>
I find that in my processAction, I can see value of "action" parameter but not the value the user enters in the portlet for "userName".<br><br>
Any idea why? I must be doing sthing wrong, dunno what.<br><br>
Also, if I use renderURL instead of actionURL, I don't even see "action" getting passed. Is that expected?<br><br>
Thanks
