Issue

  • When a StrutsAction is being overriden by a custom component, I cannot use the variable actionMapping in order to return an appropriate ActionForward object.
  • Example:
return actionMapping.getActionForward("portal.verify_email_address");

 

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1+

 

Resolution

  • The variable actionMapping is no longer available since Liferay DXP 7.1
  • However, it is not needed to return an ActionForward object, but only the parameter passed to the method getActionForward.
  • For the example mentioned above, the following code would obtain the desired effect:
return "portal.verify_email_address";
