Struts portlet and request.getQueryString()

Question

Hi all,
I've run into what seems like a bug in using struts portlets.
In my JSP page, I'm attempting to retrieve the query string (parameters) from the request URL, but apparently under the Portal framework, only the first parameter/value in the query string can be retrieved.
Eg. URL:
http://www.myportal.com/portal/page?_pageid=11,86282&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&_piref33_92271_33_86282_86282.strutsAction=%2myAction.do?param1=abc&param2=cde&param3=fgh
When invoking a request.getQueryString() either in my JSP or in the action servlet, only the first part is returned, which is param1=abc. The rest is dropped.
I should mention that the actual use of these parameters are okay (such as request.getParameter("param2") will return "cde"). Just pulling them out with the getQueryString() method seems not too work.
The only way to workaround it for me is to use the request.getParameterNames() and run through the enumeration and construct the query string manually. Of course this is ugly running under the Portal framework because I have to filter out all the Portal parameters that begin with the underscore character(eg. page, schema, etc).
Has anyone else had this problem and worked around it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
This may help. Use the pdk-struts-html:link tag instead.
Something like
<jsp:useBean id="prevDetail" class="java.util.HashMap"/>
<c:set target="${prevDetail}" property="event_PreviousSet" value="PreviousSet"/>
<c:set target="${prevDetail}" property="sortref" value="${param.sortref}"/>
<c:set target="${prevDetail}" property="sortacc" value="${param.sortacc}"/>
<c:set target="${prevDetail}" property="filteron" value="${param.filteron}"/>
<pdk-struts-html:link action="portal/something.do" name="prevDetail">
Good luck, Hernando
