Portlet:actionurl is not going to @Actionmapping in controller

I am using Liferay portal-6 with Spring-3.

In my portlet, first it goes to the @Rendermapping without params and displays the default jsp, when I click on a button I am passing the actionurl, but its not going to the corresponding @Actionmapping.

My searchForm.jsp looks like this:

<portlet:actionURL var="showSearchResultsUrl">
    <portlet:param name="myaction" value="searchResults" />
</portlet:actionURL>

<form:form id="searchForm" name="searchForm" commandName="patientStoryForm"    method="POST" action="${showSearchResultsUrl}" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
    <input type="button" name="search_btn" value="Search"/></td>
</form:form>

My controller is like this:

@Controller(value = "searchPatientStoryController")
@RequestMapping(value = "VIEW")
@SessionAttributes(types = PatientStoryForm.class)
public class SearchPatientStoryController {

    @RenderMapping
    public String showSearchForm(RenderResponse response, Model model) {
        return "searchForm";
    }

    @RenderMapping(params = "myaction=searchResultsForm")
    public String showSearchResultsForm(RenderResponse response, Model model) {
        return "searchResultsForm";
    }

    @ActionMapping(params = "myaction=searchResults")
    public void searchResults(
        @ModelAttribute(value = "patientStoryForm") PatientStoryForm patientStoryForm,
        BindingResult bindingResult, ActionResponse response, ActionRequest request,
        SessionStatus sessionStatus, Model model) {

        response.setRenderParameter("myaction", "searchResultsForm");
    }
}

When I click on button in searchForm.jsp it is supposed to go to @Actionmapping but it is not going.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

You would need to submit the form in order to invoke the associated action method.

However, in the jsp code, I see the below code which indicates that it is just a button.

<input type="button" name="search_btn" value="Search"/>

In order to submit the form, you can do either of the following ways:

  1. Use a submit button instead of a normal form button like this:

    <input type="submit" name="search_btn" value="Search"/>

  2. Invoke a javascript function on click event of the button and submit the form:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function submitForm(form){
        var actionUrl = '<portlet:actionURL var="showSearchResultsUrl"><portlet:param name="myaction" value="searchResults"/></portlet:actionURL>';
        form.action = actionUrl;
        form.submit();
    }
</script>

and

<input type="button" name="search_btn" value="Search" onclick="javascript:submitForm(this.form)"/>

You need to set the action of your form, something like this:

<form:form action="<%=showSearchResultsUrl%>" id="searchForm" name="searchForm" commandName="patientStoryForm"    method="POST" action="${showSearchResultsUrl}" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input type="button" name="search_btn" value="Search"/></td>

This way your action name will be "myaction" with the value "searchResults" as your mapping on the controller side.

Can you try replacing your actionURL like the following

<portlet:actionURL name="searchResults" var="showSearchResultsUrl"> 
        <portlet:param name="myaction" value="searchResults" /> 
</portlet:actionURL>
