After many, many frustrating hours of examining registry entries, JSP
templates, and tracing functions (via debug statements, no less), I've
finally managed to get JSP actions working. As I suspected while I was
debugging, it ended up being a very stupid, but easy, mistake.
In the hopes that other people will benefit from my frustration, I share the
thing that got me:
In your subclass of JspPortletAction, you will have something like this:
protected void buildNormalContext(Portlet portlet, RunData rundata) {
// bla
}
public void doAction(RunData rundata, Portlet portlet) {
// bla
}
If you cut and paste the method signature from buildNormalContext for your
actions, like I did, you'll end up with the parameters to your actions in
the REVERSE order! (Look closely at the two methods--they have the same
parameters, but in reverse order.) Thus, it will never see your actions and
always build the normal context, leaving you baffled.
As I said, it's stupid--but easy to do nonetheless.
