inter portlet communication b/w two page flow portlets

[ankur rathi]

I am using WebLogic Portal Server. I have two Page Flow Portlets on my page. I am trying to achieve inter portlet communication between them, also, I want to pass data between them.

Say I have two portlets A & B. A portlet throws (fires) an event when user clicks on any link on it. This I have achieved through following code:

    
PortletBackingContext context = PortletBackingContext.getPortletBackingContext(getRequest());
context.fireCustomEvent("customEvent", "this is my custom message"); 

Now portlet B should listen to the event fired by A. So I have a custom event handler on B, which listens to custom event named 'customEvent' and calls a page flow action method. Now in this method, I want to get some data which is being set by portlet A when user clicked on any link. The action method is getting called on portlet B but how do I pass data from A?

Hope I explained my situation clearly.

Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Thanks.

Is this a custom WebLogic API you are using to trigger these events, or are these JSR168 or JSR 286 APIs upon which you are programming?

Which API is this?

It seems WebLogic's own (custom) framework for IPC to me.
