Using the portlet:actionURL UI Component

Liferay Faces Bridge provides several Portlet 2.0 UIComponent tags as part of its component suite. In this tutorial, you’ll learn about the portlet:actionURL tag.

Note: Although JSP tags are provided by the portlet container implementation, Liferay Faces Bridge provides these tags in order to support their usage within Facelets.

If the var attribute is present, the portlet:actionURL tag introduces an EL variable that contains a javax.portlet.ActionURL, adequate for postbacks. Otherwise, the URL is written to the response.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<f:view xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:portlet="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
    <h:head />
    <h:body">
        <h:form>
            <portlet:actionURL var="myActionURL" >
                <portlet:param name="foo" value="1234" />
            </portlet:actionURL>
            <h:outputText var="actionURL=#{myActionURL}" />
        </h:form>
    </h:body>
</f:view>

This knowledge adds just another component tag for your JSF portlet development.
