Liferay <portlet:actionURL>

[Seeya S Kudtarker, modificado 11 Anos atrás.]

In my jsp I have the following code:

<portlet:actionURL name="addDetails" var="addDetailsURL" />

<aui:form name="addDetails" action="<%=addDetailsURL.toString() %>" method="post" >
<aui:input type="text" label="name:" name="name" value="" />
<aui:input type="text" label="surname:" name="surname" value="" />
<aui:input type="text" label="age:" name="age" value="" />

<aui:button type="submit" value="addDetails" />


</aui:form>



I want to submit this data which will be processed in a java class. my java class has few functions. how should I specify in the above jsp that it should access the particular function in java after submitting the form?


Sounds silly but I am confused..


One more question: how does actionURL resolve the namepsace. I mean how does it know which function in java class it should go to..

You have to go through the ACTION / RENDER URL behaviors in Portlet life cycle

Action URL calls processAction of your portlet
Render URL calls render / View Method

When you submit the Action URL, it will go and check the processAction method of your portlet class which you have defined in portlet.xml

<portlet-class>
com.my.package.CustomPortlet
</portlet-class>

hi seeya
by default when u call the <portlet:actionURL/>in your jsp it will hit to the processaction() function in your java class

now you r using
<portlet:actionURL name="addDetails" var="addDetailsURL" />.

when you r using name="addDetails" attribute in u'r actionurl it will hit to the addDetails() function
so you are suppose to create addDetails() in your java class

I might be wrong with the implementation.
For Help i'll be Thankful

Hisham Zoghbi:

<portlet:actionURL = name="actionMethod1" var="patientSubmitURL"

This line has an equals sign that doesn't belong there (the first one in the line). That might be what upsets the XML parser.

i just fixed it thanx. but when i press the Button i get nothing No response?

well, with that much ("zero") information, you won't get any response here as well... Now it's a matter of what your code does - seems it doesn't do what you expect it to do.

fair enough!!
by changing the Mistake that you've just saw "=" and run my Portlet again. I just got the same Exception as the first one.
<portlet:actionURL name="actionMethod1"" var="patientSubmitURL" />
<form action=${patientSubmitURL} method="post">

<div class="form-inline">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"><span
class="glyphicon glyphicon-open-file"></span></span> <input
type="nummer" class="form-control"
placeholder="Patient/in Akten-Nr" size="70"
name="<portlet:namespace/>aktenNr" />
</div></div>
<button type="submit" value="Send SMS"></button>
</form>
this is how my View.jsp looks like. With the actionMethode @ProcessAction(name = "actionMethode1")
I have create actionURL by portlet:actionURL tag. name attribute of this tag is same as name attribute of @ProcessAction annotation of portlet action method. So this actionURL is used to calls portlet action method

i think that was more than a zero information

I've emphasized a few places that look weird. Check if they're due to anonymization of this post or actual things in your code. In order of appearance:

• actionMethod1 vs (later) actionMethode1
• superfluous quote
• missing quotes
• see above, already mentioned.

I'm just getting rid of the obvious first.

Next thing to check: Did you override processAction as well? Because the default implementation will do the Annotation lookup. If you've already implemented this method, you might have omitted the default handler.
