Im a newbie in Liferay development and I have a pretty simple question.
I have an example of portlet that shows a text message and I need to display in the Liferay Portal. How can I do this ? the JSP code is below:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet" %>
<%@ page import="javax.portlet.PortletPreferences" %>
<portlet:defineObjects />
<%
PortletPreferences prefs = renderRequest.getPreferences();
String greeting = (String)prefs.getValue( "greeting", "Hello! Welcome to our portal.");
%>
<p><%= greeting %></p>
EDIT
How can I write the same portlet without java code in view.jsp file?
You must override MVCPortlets doView
method to initialize an attribute, let's consider the attribute greeting
. For example:
public class Greeting extends MVCPortlet {
@Override
public void doView(RenderRequest renderRequest, RenderResponse renderResponse) throws IOException, PortletException {
renderRequest.setAttribute("greeting", "Hello! Welcome to our portal.");
super.doView(renderRequest, renderResponse);
}
}
And in your JSP file, retrieve the greeting
attribute using EL ${greeting}
.
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet" %>
<portlet:defineObjects />
<p>${greeting}</p>
Ouput:
Hello! Welcome to our portal.
