Hi,
In liferay there is a sign in portlet where we have create account page.
and the feilds are stored in user_ table in database.
now i want to customize createaccount,.jsp
I have liferay source code.
i want to know the flow how the details are stored in databse,what all java classes are involved etc.

Thanks
Suji.

First of all.. to modify any jsp file, use JSP hook. http://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.0/development/-/ai/creating-a-hook
I would recommend to use Liferay IDE or Netbeans to create a hook.

Second, if you want to be familiar with flow of a request in portal..
check these posts http://www.liferay.com/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/11286969

See create account jsp has a form with action containing struts_path like this

<portlet:param name="struts_action" value="/login/create_account" />

which is mapped in struts-config.xml like this

<action path="/login/create_account" type="com.liferay.portlet.login.action.CreateAccountAction">
			<forward name="portlet.login.create_account" path="portlet.login.create_account" />
		</action>

Which leads to com.liferay.portlet.login.action.CreateAccountAction class in source.. which has a processAction method to handle the actions. Which based on other inputs conditionally calls addUser() method in the same file..

Have a look at the file and you will get to know more..

Here is the flow

create_account.jsp -> CreateAccountAction -> Redirect with status message.

Step-1 Once we sumbit the form with createAccoutURL action URL

<portlet:actionURL var="createAccoutURL">
<portlet:param name="saveLastPath" value="0" />
<portlet:param name="struts_action" value="/login/create_account" />
</portlet:actionURL>


Step-2 com.liferay.portlet.login.action.CreateAccountAction's processAction method is getting called.

public void processAction(
ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, PortletConfig portletConfig,
ActionRequest actionRequest, ActionResponse actionResponse)
throws Exception {

String cmd = ParamUtil.getString(actionRequest, Constants.CMD);

try {
if (cmd.equals(Constants.ADD)) {
addUser(actionRequest, actionResponse);
}
}
..
}

Step-3 In addUser method liferay API
User user = UserServiceUtil.addUser(...) will be called and inserting/creating user details into USER_ table in LR DB and send redirect URL with
success message

Hope this will help

Thanks,
Venkat
