method in actionURL not being called

Question

I have defined a jsp in which the following code is there:-

<portlet:actionURL name="checkOtp" var="otpDemo"></portlet:actionURL>
<form method="post" action="<%= otpDemo %>">
Enter otp:
<input type="text" name="otpText"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

When I submit the form I am getting Error as : Render response is null because this tag is not being called within the context of a portlet How to get rid of this error.Please help..Thanx in advance.

Answer 1

As, I assume that you are passing RenderRequest and RenderResponse objects to that action method, while these objects should be of ActionRequest and ActionResponse type.

If yes, for given <portlet:actionURL name="checkOtp" var="otpDemo"></portlet:actionURL> , your actionListener method in portlet's action class will be:

public void checkOtp(ActionRequest actionRequest, ActionResponse actionResponse)
    throws IOException, PortletException {
        // your logic goes here
}
