APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a JSR 168 portlet has a struts action that implements the
  IStrutsPrepareRender interface, the request parameters are not
  available in the render phase.
  
  <html:link action="/secondAction.do?action=second">
   >>Next
  </html:link>
  
  In the above example, the request value, second is lost in the
  render phase, because when using a IStrutsPrepareRender action,
  the action is not executed until the render phase.
  
  Whereas in the case of a simple JSR168 portlet, the request
  parameters available in the action phase needs to be set
  explicitly as render parameters to be made available in the
  render phase.
  

Local fix

• Code defect. APAR to be provided to fix the issue and will
  address the passing of parameters to an action whether they are
  part of IStrutsPrepareRender or not.
  

Problem summary

  action when struts forward is executed and the action is an inst
