Send object from action method to jsp

[Hari Dhanakoti, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Am a new bie with liferay and facing some issues with passing values back and forth.

I have a method "public void getNextComments(ActionRequest actionRequest, ActionResponse actionResponse)". I want to send an ArrayList from the MVCPortlet (liferay) to jsp. How can i retrieve it from the jsp end?

I tried setting up object as attribute but not sure how to retrieve the same on the UI.

actionRequest.setAttribute("socialactivities", socialActivities);

(HTTPServletRequest) request.setAttribute("socialactivities", socialActivities);

Please help me on this.

Hi Hari,

Yes, you can set the list object into actionRequest and then can retrieve it on jsp in following way,

In your MVCPortlet,

actionRequest.setAttribute("socialactivities",socialActivities);

And at jsp side,

<%
    List socialActivities = (List) renderRequest.getAttribute("socialactivities");
 %>

I hope it may resolves your problem.

I tried the same but couldn't get object on the jsp side. Do i miss any other configuration?
Java code:

List<SocialActivity> socialActivities = SocialActivityLocalServiceUtil.getUserActivities(user2Id, end, activitiesPerPage+end);
actionRequest.setAttribute("socialactivities", socialActivities);

JSP code:

List fetchedActivities = (List) renderRequest.getAttribute("socialactivities");
List fetchedActivities = (List) request.getAttribute("socialactivities");

Both of these didn't work any other clues to resolve the same?

Please try this :

in process action :

actionRequest.setAttribute("socialactivities", socialActivities);

in render method :

String socActivit y= renderRequest.getAttribute("socialactivities");
renderRequest.setAttribute("socialactivities", socActivit );

In JSP:

List fetchedActivities = (List) request.getAttribute("socialactivities");

you just need to do two things
first:
with your actionRequest setAttrribute wat object you want to send with attribute name in double quote
second:
with your actionResponse redirect where you want to use that object

code would be like this
at MVCPortlet

actionRequest.setAttribute("Object",ArrayListObject);
actionResponse.setRenderParameter("jspPage","/html/reference.jsp");

at the respective Jsp you need to fetch the object

List myArrayList=new ArrayList(); 
myArrayList=(List)request.getAttribute("Object");

now you can use your ArrayList

Thanks

I tried setting up the parameters in actionReponse and got he following Exception

actionResponse.setRenderParameter("jspPage","/super_wall/view_wall.jspf");
and
actionResponse.setRenderParameter("socialactivities", socialActivities);

Are you using sendRedirect() at the end of your processAction ?

Method definition starts as such

@ProcessAction(name = "getNextComments")
public void getNextComments(ActionRequest actionRequest, ActionResponse actionResponse) throws Exception {

actionRequest.setAttribute("socialactivities", socialActivities); / Not working
actionResponse.setParameter("jspPage,"/asdf/asdf..jsp"); / Throws Exception

}

Hi Hari,

Hari Dhanakoti:

@ProcessAction(name = "getNextComments")
public void getNextComments(ActionRequest actionRequest, ActionResponse actionResponse) throws Exception {

actionRequest.setAttribute("socialactivities", socialActivities); / Not working
actionResponse.setParameter("jspPage,"/asdf/asdf..jsp"); / Throws Exception

}

1. Set the list in the actionRequest as

actionRequest.setAttribute("socialactivities", socialActivities);

2. In jsp use the request (not renderRequest) object to get the attribute as

List<String> list = (List<String>)request.getAttribute("socialactivities");

Here I assume that list is of type String. modify according to your list type.


Instead of setting the jsp page in action method as you are doing -

actionResponse.setParameter("jspPage,"/asdf/asdf..jsp"); / Throws Exception

Set a renderParameter in action method and fetch that value in render method. based on this value redirect the user to desired page.

you cannot use twice setRenderParameter

setRenderParameter is used for page redirection

so before setting setRenderParameter you need to use

actionRequest.setAttribute("ArrayListName",ArrayList);

but you were using setRenderParameter with actionResponse for setting attribute that is why you are getting that exception

use the above code instead your problem will get resolved

Hello, I am having the same problem and i tried everything from above but it doesn't work.
The method in my portlet i have:
request.setAttribute("subject",subject);
response.setRenderParameter("jspPage","/html/display/second.jsp");
where subject is a database object
then in second.jsp i am trying to get subject
Subject subject = (Subject)renderRequest.getAttribute("subject");
i tried like this also
Subject subject=new Subject();
subject=(Subject)request.getAttribute("subject");
but it always gives me null pointer exception
btw in my first jsp i already have set action of the form to corresponding url.
