How to get user input in a portlet?

[Akino877]

Hello,

I have a simple Hello World portlet, which looks like the following :

import java.io.*;
import javax.portlet.*;

public class HelloWorldPortlet extends GenericPortlet {
public void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response) throws IOException, PortletException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
response.getWriter().print("Hello World!");
}
}

It works fine. Now, I'd like to add a text box and be able to get the value of the text box into a Java string
variable. I wonder if someone could please tell me how to do this?

Thank you,

Akino
