How to add hook into portlet in liferay?

Question

I have made a struts action hook and want to add it to the portlet. I tried several things like I made first a portlet plugin project and then tried to add hook into it by right clicking on the portlet project and clicking on New->Liferay Hook Configuration but there is no option of struts action hook there.

So I decided to make hook first. I am now ready with the hook and need to add it to the portlet.

How can I achieve it? Is there any way to add struts action hook to the portlet?

Answer 1

You need to prefix struts path of the portlet in which you want to add struts action. You can find struts path for Liferay OOTB portlets in /ROOT/WEB-INF/liferay-portlet.xml.

Example:

Consider you want to add new struts action to message boards portlet. you have to write struts-action-path in liferay-hook.xml as follow :

<struts-action-path>/message_boards/new_struts_action</struts-action-path>
