How can I override the original address portlet with a new one?

[serghei.luchianov.it]

Hi, I've been googling for a week now, and I can't find any working examples on how to override the original address display/edit portlet. I'm making a module that will have a map in there and allow to simply drop a pin for patient address, which will populate the whole form automatically.

Bottom line is: I want to override old address portlet with a new one that does everything the same way + has a map frame.

So far I've tried overriding address portlet via webModuleApplicationContext.xml (using a bean ), copy/pasting the portlet code & controller into my module & just having a "hello world" message at the head of the portlet -> with no effect. My code:

<openmrs:portlet url="addressLayout" id="addressPortlet" moduleId="gis" size="full"... /> 

Displays my portlet properly, but the same code without moduleId="gis" , which is the way original portlet is declared in all the pages, still shows the original portlet. Is there a way I can globally override that mapping?

Did you check if the address portlet has an extension point? I think it's the standard way of adding functionality to the views.

I just checked out address portlet jsp file and unfortunately it doesn't have an extension point.

You can add one then :-)

I believe you can find an example of this in the orderextension module. It overrides the regimens portlet.
