In this post we are going are develop a multi page portlet using Spring 3.0 Portlet MVC using annotations.Following are screen shots of various pages -
- Home Page: Displays a lists of student with action button to perform edit and delete action on particular student. Add New Student link n the top opens up a new form where we can provide the details for new student and save.
- Add New Student: On clicking Add New Student following page will open.
3.
Edit Student Form: Clicking edit from the action menu will display the edit student form.
- Delete Student: Clicking delete from the action menu will display a confirmation alert box and based on your choice will perform.
Following are the code listings:
- StudentController.java[sourcecode language="java"]
@Controller(value="studentController")
@RequestMapping(value = "VIEW")
public class StudentController {
@RenderMapping
public String showStudents(RenderResponse response,Model model) {
System.out.println("Render Called");
List students = null;
try {
students = StudentLocalServiceUtil.getStudents(-1, -1);
} catch (SystemException e) {
System.out.println("Error in getting student list");
e.printStackTrace();
}
model.addAttribute("students", students) ;
return "myView";
}
@RenderMapping(params = "myaction=addStudentForm")
public String showAddStudentForm(Model model) throws SystemException
{
System.out.println("showAddStudentForm Called !!!!!!!!!!!");
Student student = new StudentImpl();
model.addAttribute("student", student);
return "addStudent";
}
@ActionMapping(params = "myaction=addStudent")
public void addStudent(@ModelAttribute("student") StudentImpl student,BindingResult bindingResult, ActionRequest actionRequest, ActionResponse actionResponse)
throws Exception {
student.setPrimaryKey(CounterLocalServiceUtil.increment(Student.class.getName()));
Student newStudent = StudentLocalServiceUtil.addStudent(student);
System.out.println("Student added : " + newStudent.getName());
}
@RenderMapping(params = "myaction=editStudentForm")
public String editStudentForm(@RequestParam Long resourcePrimKey,Model model) throws PortalException, SystemException
{

model.addAttribute("student", student);
return "editStudent";
}
@ActionMapping(params = "myaction=editStudent")
public void editStudent(@ModelAttribute StudentImpl student,@RequestParam Long resourcePrimKey,ActionResponse response) throws IOException
{
student.setId(resourcePrimKey);
System.out.println("Edit Student Called!!" + student.getId());
try {
StudentLocalServiceUtil.updateStudent(student);
} catch (SystemException e) {
System.out.println("Error Occured while updating!! ");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@ActionMapping(params = "myaction=deleteStudent")
public void deleteStudent(ActionRequest request,ActionResponse response){
long primKey = ParamUtil.getLong(request, "resourcePrimKey");
System.out.println("Delete Called for : " + primKey);
try {

} catch (PortalException e) {
System.out.println("Error Occured while deleting");
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SystemException e) {
