We're trying to integrate an
asp.net application into a web clipping
portlet. There are a number of dynamic web pages and forms in this
asp.net application.
We've done some initial work and have been successful in bringing pages
from the
asp.net application into the clipping portlet but have noticed
an anomaly when submitting the forms.
When the
asp.net form is submitted, the portlet sends the request over
to the
asp.net server, which processes the request and sends a
response. We can see that the request is being sent properly to the
asp.net server because we can watch the request being processed in the
debugger. So we know that the URL rewriting is working properly.
However, after the response is sent to the web clipping portlet, the
browser page refreshes and the clipping portlet is empty.
We did some testing and found that this problem only occurs when the
asp.net form is set to use method="POST". If we switch it to
method="GET", it works properly and the response from the posted form
is displayed in the clipping portlet.
