Thanks Ron. More googling helped me--here's the doView() I used to create a
simple form that will activate the portlet's processAction() method:
@Override
protected void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response)
throws PortletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
response.getWriter().println("<form method='post' action='" +
response.createActionURL().toString() + "'>");
response.getWriter().println("<input type='submit' value='Test
button'/>");
response.getWriter().println("</form>");
}
