I have a basic Liferay portlet and use Spring MVC. I have only one controller for VIEW mode of portlet and only one form. When I submit the form, action phase is not handled.
GraphViewController.java
package graphui;
import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.GsonBuilder;
import javax.portlet.ActionRequest;
import javax.portlet.ActionResponse;
import javax.portlet.RenderRequest;
import javax.portlet.RenderResponse;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.portlet.ModelAndView;
import org.springframework.web.portlet.bind.annotation.ActionMapping;
import org.springframework.web.portlet.bind.annotation.RenderMapping;
/**
*
* Controller for VIEW mode of portlet.
*/
@Controller("graphViewController")
@RequestMapping(value = "VIEW")
public class GraphViewController{
private static final String MODEL_KEY_NAME = "name";
private static final String MODEL_KEY_AGE = "age";
private static final String MODEL_KEY_EMAIL = "email";
private Person repository = new Person("pete", 33, "[email protected]");
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create();
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(GraphViewController.class);
@ActionMapping(GraphUIConstants.SUBMIT_FORM)
public void handleActionRequest(ActionRequest request, ActionResponse response)throws Exception {
logger.info("action phase executed");
if (request.getParameter("name") != null)
repository.setName(request.getParameter("name"));
if (request.getParameter("age") != null)
repository.setAge(Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("age")));
if (request.getParameter("email") != null)
repository.setEmail(request.getParameter("email"));
}
@RenderMapping
public ModelAndView handleRenderRequest(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response, ModelMap model) {
logger.info("render phase executed");
model.addAttribute(MODEL_KEY_NAME, gson.toJson(repository.getName()));
model.addAttribute(MODEL_KEY_AGE, gson.toJson(repository.getAge()));
model.addAttribute(MODEL_KEY_EMAIL, gson.toJson(repository.getEmail()));
return new ModelAndView("index", model);
}
}
