I'm trying to create a search form for my portlet. The portlet is an addressbook application, all dao and service build with service builder. I would like to give users a basic/advanced search form (like other on liferay, for example on "users and organizations" in control center.
I've implemented all logic and pages looking at liferay source code (6.1 GA1), but the search form is NOT showing up in any way, i'll put the code here.
in view.jsp:
<%
PortletURL portletURL = renderResponse.createRenderURL();
portletURL.setParameter("jspPage", "/html/addressbookportlet/view.jsp");
pageContext.setAttribute("portletURL", portletURL);
String portletURLString = portletURL.toString();
%>
<aui:form action="<%= portletURLString %>" method="get" name="fm">
<liferay-portlet:renderURLParams varImpl="portletURL" />
<aui:input name="isSearch" type="hidden" value="true" />
<aui:input name="redirect" type="hidden" value="<%= portletURLString %>" />
<liferay-ui:search-container
searchContainer="<%= new ABContactSearch(renderRequest, portletURL) %>"
>
<%
ABContactDisplayTerms displayTerms = (ABContactDisplayTerms)searchContainer.getDisplayTerms();
ABContactSearchTerms searchTerms = (ABContactSearchTerms)searchContainer.getSearchTerms();
Long societyId = GetterUtil.getLong(searchTerms.getSocietyId(),0);
Long contactTypeId = GetterUtil.getLong(searchTerms.getContactTypeId(), 0);
Long brandId = GetterUtil.getLong(searchTerms.getBrandId(),0);
Long channelId = GetterUtil.getLong(searchTerms.getChannelId(),0);

}
catch (Exception e) {
_log.error(e.getMessage());
_log.debug(e.getMessage(), e);
}
}
}
the search container itself is working good, as the base search is performed by default with empty string, but the "search form" is not showing. I've tryed to put some debug messages on contact_search_form.jsp but none of them are printed into console. It seems the file is not being found or processed by the taglib..
Any help would be appreciated!
