[Building Sakai] How to Send an Http Parameter to a tool

[Aaron Zeckoski]

This is the basic form:
http://server:port/portal/site/siteId/page/pageId?toolstate-toolpid=/newpage?thing=value

or maybe like this is easier to read:
http://{server}:{port}/portal/site/{siteId}/page/{pageId}?toolstate-{toolpid}={toolUrl}

You have to replace:
server
port
siteId
pageId
toolpid
toolUrl - this is the encoded path plus query params (e.g.
/something.jsp?msg=hello)

If you want an example of some code that generates this look here in
the getToolViewURL method:
entitybroker/impl/src/java/org/sakaiproject/entitybroker/impl/devhelper/DeveloperHelperServiceImpl.java

Can you paste in the final URL you are generating?
