Basic form portlet jsr 286 v liferay 6.0


How to retrieve data from a form and to send it to a MySQL database via JDBC?

Here's my procedure:

main class:

public class Dati extends MVCPortlet {

    public static Connection con() {
        Connection conn = null;
        try {
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println("Errore");
        }

        // APRI CONNESSIONE

        try {
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/db_alex","root","25071984");
            System.out.println("Connessione effettuata");
            return conn;
        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            System.out.println("SQlException: " + ex.getMessage());
            System.out.println("SQLState: " + ex.getSQLState());
            System.out.println("VendorError: " + ex.getErrorCode());
            return null;
        }
    }

    public void Invio (ActionRequest actionRequest, ActionResponse actionResponse) 
    throws PortletException, IOException {
        String username = actionRequest.getParameter("username");
        String password = actionRequest.getParameter("password");

        Connection conn = null;

        try {

        Statement st = conn.createStatement();
        st.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO contacts (username,password) values ('"+username+"','"+password+"')");
        System.out.println("Inserimento avvenuto con successo");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Inserimento non avvenuto");
        }
    }
}

view.jsp

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet" %>

<portlet:defineObjects />

<portlet:actionURL name="Invio" var="Invio"/>

<form method="post" action="actionURL/>">

    <input type="text" name="username">
    <input type="password" name="password">
    <input type="submit" value="Invia!">    

</form> 

I don't know where my fault is. I was reading Portlet is temporarily unavailable and applying that rule, but Liferay says I'm wrong.

Which is the correct procedure to store?


Solution

  • you define actionURL Invio as a java object in view.jsp but you reference it wrong. you should reference it in <%= %> tag. actually your form tag should look like this:

    <form method="post" action='<%=Invio%>'>
    
    <input type="text" name="username">
    <input type="password" name="password">
    <input type="submit" value="Invia!">
