From: "Weaver, Scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Thanks for the help, though when I make those changes I get the error that "The requested resource (/jetspeed/$jslink.Template) is not available." I am using a jsp to present the user with the html by using the built in JSP portlet class. Is that the root cause of this issue? I suspect that something that should be substituting a value for the $jslink.Template is not firing for some reason.

<form action="$jslink.Template" method="post"> will set this up for you. You must specify the action that you have defined the "doNext()" method in as the action for this portlet. You do this by adding an "action" parameter to the portlet registry for this portlet:
<parameter name="action" value="portlets.MyAction" hidden="false" cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true"/>
Another thing to watch out for is to make sure that the base package for your actions is listed as a module directory. Look for "module.packages" in your TurbineResources.properties. Add another properties entry that points to the base package that contains your action classes.

Also, if I have a class called called com.mycompany.portal.actions.MyActionClass, would I put
module.properties=com.mycompany.portal
in the TurbineResources.properties file
and then in the portlet's xreg file put
<parameter name="action" value="actions.MyActionClass" hidden="false" cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true"/>
?
Thanks!!
Andy
