Thanks ! It works great now! (the action defined in the form came from an example i found in the tutorial)
The only thing, is that in the portletlink tag i have (1.4b4), there's no "template" attribute, so i did not put it. then the form action url looks a bit awkward: http://myhost/ThingWeb/portal/user/admin/page/default.psml/media-type/html?ac tion=controls.Maximize Is this normal? I guess I can close the bug on bugzilla... or change its component to "documentation" ;) I guess I'll leave the decision up to you! Thanks again. greg -----Original Message----- From: Weaver, Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mardi 9 septembre 2003 19:19 To: 'Jetspeed Users List' Subject: RE: setTemplate using JSPAction (or even GenericMVCPortlet/PortletAction now) I see your problem, you have defined your action within the form, this is causing turbine to execute your action before the portlet can. This is why there is no context available, the GenericMVCPortlet creates it before invoking the action nut it never makes it there because Turbine is calling the action. Remove the action field and make sure you have your action defined at the registry level. Try this (I have removed the action field and changed your form action) <form name="form" action="<js:portletlink template="" />" method="get"> <input type="hidden" name="js_peid" value="<%=jspeid%>"/> <input type="submit" name="eventSubmit_doSearch" value="Search"> <input type="reset" value="Clear Fields"> <input type="text" name="thingieid" size="20"> </form> *===================================* * Scott T Weaver������������������� * * Jakarta Jetspeed Portal Project�� * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * *===================================* � > -----Original Message----- > From: Gregory Joseph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 10:57 AM > To: Jetspeed Users List > Subject: RE: setTemplate using JSPAction (or even > GenericMVCPortlet/PortletAction now) > > Through form submission, my form looks like: (removed useless html stuff) > > <form name="form" action="http://myhost/ThingWeb/portal"; method="get"> > <input type="hidden" name="js_peid" value="<%=jspeid%>"/> > <input type="hidden" name="action" value="ThingieSearchAction"/> > <input type="submit" name="eventSubmit_doSearch" value="Search"> > <input type="reset" value="Clear Fields"> > <input type="text" name="thingieid" size="20"> > </form> > > I'm starting to believe there's something wrong there :/ > (my action is executed, though, since i also added result display in the > "main" template, to check that) > > greg > > -----Original Message----- > From: Weaver, Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: mardi 9 septembre 2003 15:06 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: setTemplate using JSPAction (or even > GenericMVCPortlet/PortletAction now) > > > Gregory, > > How are you invoking the action when this fails?
