Not able to call processAction of Portlet - liferay

Question

My game.jsp code -
<%#page import="java.io.Console"%>
<%#page import="com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.WebKeys"%>
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet"%>
<portlet:defineObjects />
<script>
function updateGames() {
document.getElementById("gameForm").submit();
}
</script>
<portlet:actionURL name="sampleActionUrl" var="sampleActionUrl">
</portlet:actionURL>
<form id="gameForm" action="${sampleActionUrl}">
<div onclick="updateGames()">CLICK HERE</div>
</form>
My Portlet Code -
package com.home;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Game extends GenericPortlet {
#Override
#RenderMode(name = "VIEW")
protected void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response)
throws PortletException, IOException {
response.setContentType(request.getResponseContentType());
PortletContext context = getPortletContext();
PortletRequestDispatcher rd = context
.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/jsp/game.jsp");
System.out.println("Game.doView() >> rendering");
rd.include(request, response);
}
#Override
public void processAction(ActionRequest request, ActionResponse response)
throws PortletException, IOException {
System.out.println("Game.processAction() >> processAction");
}
}
When the Form is submitted on click of the div.
doView gets called for rendering the portlet, but not the processAction.
Is there anything I am missing?

Answer 1

Please use below code and give a try
<portlet:actionURL name="sampleActionUrl" var="sampleActionUrl">
</portlet:actionURL>
<form id="gameForm" action="<%=sampleActionUrl.toString()%>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" id="env" name="env"/>
<div onclick="updateGames()">CLICK HERE</div>
</form>
<script>
function updateGames() {
document.getElementById("env").value = 'DEV';
document.getElementById("gameForm").submit();
}
</script>
If you are not using JSTL then you can use <%=sampleActionUrl.toString()%> instead of ${sampleActionUrl}
update
remove below piece of code
#RenderMode(name = "EDIT")

First check that you have set the following in WEB-INF\portlet.xml
<portlet>
...
<portlet-class>com.home.Game</portlet-class>
...
</portlet>
