Liferay UI <liferay:ui discussion/> working with Spring

We know, when we use liferay-ui with MVCPortlet, in MVCPortlet, it has a method called invokeDiscussionTagLib, but if we use Auto Annotation Scan in Spring, the controller class doesn't extend or implement any class, so we need to do our own implementation.

You can follow these steps:

1. In the JSP page,

<portlet:actionURL var="discussionURL">
        <portlet:param name="myaction" value="invokeTaglibDiscussion"></portlet:param>
</portlet:actionURL>
<liferay-ui:panel-container extended="<%= false %>" id="sloganCommentsPanelContainer" persistState="<%= true %>">
    <liferay-ui:panel collapsible="<%= true %>" extended="<%= true %>" id="sloganCommentsPanel" persistState="<%= true %>" title="Comments">
            <liferay-ui:discussion classPK="<%=sloganPK%>" userId="<%=userId%>"
                className="<%=Slogan.class.getName()%>" subject="Comment"
                formAction="<%= discussionURL %>" formName="fm2"
                ratingsEnabled="<%= true %>" redirect="<%= currentURL %>">
                                                                    </liferay-ui:discussion>
    </liferay-ui:panel>
</liferay-ui:panel-container>

2. In the Spring MVC Controller class, you need to process the action. In your controller class, you can add the code below:

if("invokeDiscussionTagLib".equalsIgnoreCase(request.getParameter("myaction"))){
PortletConfig portletConfig = (PortletConfig) request
.getAttribute(JavaConstants.JAVAX_PORTLET_CONFIG);
Object[] args = new Object[] {
new NullWrapper("org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping"),
new NullWrapper("org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm"),
portletConfig, request, response };


PortalClassInvoker
.invoke("com.liferay.portlet.messageboards.action.EditDiscussionAction",
"processAction", args);
}

This is the example working with Liferay 6.1.20
