problems in building struts action portlet in Plugins SDK environment

[li guicheng, módosítva 13 év-val korábban]

Hi, all
I'm building a struts action portlet in Plugins SDK environment and have some problems.
The Plugins SDK build command " create newportlet "My New Portlet" " is to create a JSP portlet. this wiki: http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Struts+Action+Portlet+in+Plugin+SDK tells how to change it to be a struts action portlet.
So I follow the steps and deploy the portlet.but the portlet cannot be seen. The errors are:

03:08:19,109 INFO  [PortletHotDeployListener:227] Registering portlets for Footer-portlet

anybody can give me some hints?

May be you can give the community struts portlet to start with.
Modify it to support your needs - Sample Struts Portlet

Hi, Tina

Thanks for reply.

The sample portlet is great. But I have another problem in creating a render action.
Error:

org.apache.struts.tiles.NoSuchDefinitionException: Error while resolving definition inheritance: child 'portlet.footer_portlet.test' can't find its ancestor 'portlet.footer_portlet'. Please check your description file.

--------
view.jsp

<a href="<portlet:renderURL windowState=" <%="WindowState.MAXIMIZED.toString()" %>"&gt;<portlet:param name="struts_action" value="/footer_portlet/test" />"&gt;Go to test</a>

--------
struts-config.xml

<action path="/footer_portlet/test" forward="portlet.footer_portlet.test"></action>

--------
tiles-defs.xml

<definition name="portlet.footer_portlet.test" extends="portlet.footer_portlet">
		<put name="portlet_content" value="/html/portlet/footer_portlet/test.jsp"></put>
</definition>

What's the extends atrribute in the tab difinition? And Where to define it?

thanks again.

Hi,

I just find the book that explains it: (page 105)
"What are portlet.ext.book_reports.view and portlet.ext.book_reports.view_reports in the code above? They are the forwards. What is portlet? The portlet is the template that will be used (that is, /common/themes/portlet.jsp, refer to the XML file /portal/portal-web/docroot/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml). Why is the path starting from /portlet, and not from /html, even though the directory structure is /docroot/html/portlet? It's because the /html part already added the /portal/portal-web/docroot/html/common/themes/portlet.jsp file. In general, there are two pages: view.jsp and view_reports.jsp."

So it is the definition name of the template page. Just as the sample portlet has a template.jsp and in the tiles-defs.xml has a definition

<definition name="portlet.sample_struts_portlet" path="/html/portlet/sample_struts_portlet/template.jsp" />

thanks
