I want to submit form with values and read them by action method in a portlet but the returned values are always null. Here is my code, but I don't see anything wrong here.
<portlet:actionURL name="calculate" var="calculateAction" />
<form name="<portlet:namespace/>calculatorForm" action="${calculateAction}" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<table>
<tr>
<td><label for="<portlet:namespace/>date">Date</label></td>
<td><input type="text" name="<portlet:namespace/>date" id="<portlet:namespace/>date" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="<portlet:namespace/>amount">Amount</label></td>
<td><input type="text" name="<portlet:namespace/>amount" id="<portlet:namespace/>amount" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="Calculate" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
and my method looks like this
@ProcessAction(name = "calculate")
public void calculate(ActionRequest request, ActionResponse response) {
String stringDate = request.getParameter("date");
String stringAmount = request.getParameter("amount");
System.out.println("Amount: " + stringAmount);
System.out.println("Date: " + stringDate);
}
Method is correctly called but both variables are always null.
