Liferay Friendly URL with Action method call

Hi All,

Liferay comes with Friendly URL which reduce unwanted parameter in  URL and  display small  and good URL compare to action and render URL.

Now suppose you want to display News for Mobile device and you want to create friendly URL related it and you want also one action method with this friendly URL. So please follow steps.

1. open your liferay-porltet.xml file of  your portlet and write below line after <icon></icon> tag.

   <friendly-url-mapper-class>com.liferay.portal.kernel.portlet.DefaultFriendlyURLMapper</friendly-  url-mapper-class>
    <friendly-url-mapping>mobile</friendly-url-mapping>
    <friendly-url-routes>com/portal/mobile-routes.xml</friendly-url-routes>

2.  Now create  mobile-routes.xml in relevant path in your portlet.

3.  Open mobile-routes.xml file and add below content.

     

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE routes PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Friendly URL Routes 6.1.0//EN"
"http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-friendly-url-routes_6_1_0.dtd">

<routes>
    <route>
        <pattern>/news</pattern>
  <ignored-parameter name="p_auth"/>
  <implicit-parameter name="p_p_id">abc_WAR_abcportlet</implicit-parameter>
  <implicit-parameter name="p_p_lifecycle">0</implicit-parameter>
  <implicit-parameter name="p_p_state">normal</implicit-parameter>
  <implicit-parameter name="p_p_mode">view</implicit-parameter>
  <implicit-parameter name="p_p_col_id">column-1</implicit-parameter>
  <implicit-parameter name="p_p_col_count">1</implicit-parameter>
  <implicit-parameter name="_abc_WAR_abcportlet_action">showNews</implicit-parameter>
  <implicit-parameter name="parameterName">parameterValue</implicit-parameter>
 </route>
    </route>
</routes>

4. Now  open your controller class and write below method to catch action with name "showNews".

 @RenderMapping(params="action=showNews")
 public String handleMobileNews(RenderRequest request,RenderResponse response,Model model){ 

                          // Your code to handle this Action method.

          } 

5. When  you  call  http://localhost:8080/web/guest/home/-/mobile/news then Liferay  will look into

  mobile-routes.xml  file with /news  pattern then it will call "showNews"  action method of your 

  controller class and  you can write your logic in it..

 Its done !!!!!!!!

  Please write to me if  you want to more infomation on this.
