How can I call the action method inside the MVCPortlet class onclick of the Submit button

Question

I am using Liferay 6 for development.

I have added JQuery support to Liferay this way inside the file liferay-portlet.xml file

For your jsp you're close. Needs a bit of reordering, using the actionURL and the portlet's namespace. Warning - typed in stackoverflow answer window, didn't actually compile/run:

<liferay-portlet:actionURL name="registerUser" var="registerUserURL"></liferay-portlet:actionURL>
<form action="<%=registerUserURL%>">
    <div>
        <input class="default-value" type="text" name="<portlet:namespace/>Name" value="Name" />
        <input class="default-value" type="text" name="<portlet:namespace/>Password" value="Password" />
    </div>
</form>

<div class="fieldgroup">
 <input type="submit" value="Register" class="submit">
</div>

As you extend Liferay's MVC portlet the portlet side looks ok - just use request.getParameter("Name"); there.

This is not related to jQuery at all, right?

Don't forget to add the following on the top in your jsp:

<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/portlet" prefix="liferay-portlet" %>
