@hst.actionURL doAction Not firing

[bracki...@gmail.com]

We are having a problem understanding how the actionURL in the FTL relates to our component.  No matter what we try we cannot get the doAction mothod to fire.  We have a doBeforeRender method that does fire when the page gets rendered.

Here is the snippet from our ftl file.

            <@hst.actionURL var="actionLink" />

               <form id="quoteForm" name="Insurance_form" method="post" action="${actionLink}" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">

Here is the component code.

@ParametersInfo(type = LandingPageComponentInfo.class)

public class LandingPageComponent extends BaseHstComponent {

    @Override

    public void doBeforeRender(HstRequest request, HstResponse response) {

        super.doBeforeRender(request, response);

        LandingPageComponentInfo info = getComponentParametersInfo(request);

        HstRequestContext ctx = request.getRequestContext();

        HippoBean root = ctx.getSiteContentBaseBean();

        PageHeaderBanner headerBanner = root.getBean(info.getPageBanner(), PageHeaderBanner.class);

        PageStepsBanner stepsBanner = root.getBean(info.getStepsBanner(), PageStepsBanner.class);

        Promo promo1 = root.getBean(info.getPromo1(), Promo.class);

        Promo promo2 = root.getBean(info.getPromo2(), Promo.class);

        Disclaimer pageLinks = root.getBean(info.getPageLinks(), Disclaimer.class);

        Disclaimer disclaimer = root.getBean(info.getDisclaimer(), Disclaimer.class);

        Disclaimer formNumber = root.getBean(info.getFormNumber(), Disclaimer.class);

        PageLightBox learnMoreLightBox = root.getBean(info.getLearnMoreLightBox(), PageLightBox.class);

        PageLightBox learnAboutLightBox = root.getBean(info.getLearnAboutLightBox(), PageLightBox.class);

        request.setAttribute("headerBanner", headerBanner);

        request.setAttribute("stepsBanner", stepsBanner);

        request.setAttribute("promo1", promo1);

        request.setAttribute("promo2", promo2);

        request.setAttribute("pageLinks", pageLinks);

        request.setAttribute("disclaimer", disclaimer);

        request.setAttribute("formNumber", formNumber);

        request.setAttribute("learnMoreLightBox", learnMoreLightBox);

        request.setAttribute("learnAboutLightBox", learnAboutLightBox);

    }

    @Override

    public void doAction(HstRequest arg0, HstResponse arg1) throws HstComponentException {

        System.out.println("Hey you made it!!");

    }

Thanks

I'd like to recommend you to check two things:

i) Is the ftl template associated with the LandingPageComponent class in hst component or page configuration? Sometimes people mistake a ftl template of child component as parent component's template.

ii) Do you see if the action URL was fired through FireBug? The url should look like ...?_hn:type=action&_hn:ref=... in POST method.

Regards,

Woonsan

Could you check one more if HstResponse#getNamespace() returns the same string in #doBeforeRender() of the component as the _hn:ref parameter string value?

Those two must be the same if the template was for the component correctly.
