You can create the custom store/object like query parameters into client context and then use that attributes in your segmentation. refer [1] to see how to create custom client store

Hi

Apart from what has Bsloki mentioned, we can create a OSGI which can basically read a query string and can create the content on the run time and then JSP can use that content to render it.

//

public static Map<String, String> splitQuery(URL url) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {Map<String, String> query_pairs = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();String query = url.getQuery();String[] pairs = query.split("&");for (String pair : pairs) {int idx = pair.indexOf("=");query_pairs.put(URLDecoder.decode(pair.substring(0, idx), "UTF-8"), URLDecoder.decode(pair.substring(idx + 1), "UTF-8"));}return query_pairs;}

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards
