I managed to fix it.
Although the hackish alternative I presented at the end of the message
worked, when I was implementing friendly URLs it didn't work as expected for
the id parameter because it wasn't a part of <portlet:actionURL>.
I found a way to get the ID from the value stack this way
ActionContext.getContext().getValueStack().findValue("resourceId").toString();
so my final code is now
<% String resourceId =
ActionContext.getContext().getValueStack().findValue("resourceId").toString();
%>
<portlet:actionURL windowState="exclusive">
<portlet:param name="struts.portlet.action"
value="/gdocs/gdocs/moreinformation" />
<portlet:param name="docid" value="<%= resourceId %>">
</portlet:param></portlet:actionURL>
and it's working perfectly well.
Best Regards,
Ricardo
