copied!<p>Now you are doing:</p> <ol> <li>Sending single <code>Id</code> to the <code>processAction</code> method</li> <li>Executing the action based on the button <code>edit</code> or <code>delete</code></li> </ol> <p>You want:</p> <ol> <li>Select multiple check-boxes</li> <li>Click <code>Delete</code> button somewhere</li> <li>All the selected items gets deleted</li> </ol> <p>Solution (there might be many other ways):</p> <ol> <li><p>You checkbox should be like this:</p> <pre><code><input type="checkbox" name="<portlet:namespace/>row_sel" class="row_sel" value="<%=temprest.getPrimaryKey() %>" /> </code></pre> <p>If you use <code><aui:input /></code> tags you won't have to bother about prepending the <code>name</code> attribute with <code><portlet:namespace/></code></p></li> <li><p>Collecting all the <code>Id</code>s in a hidden input field <code><input type="hidden" name="<portlet:namespace/>allCheckedIds" /></code> with comma-separated format and then sending it to the server.</p></li> <li>This can be done using javascript, on click of the <code>Delete</code> button call a javascript method which would construct a string of all the <code>Id</code>s from the checked check-box's values. You can take help of <a href="http://www.javascript-coder.com/javascript-form/javascript-get-check.phtml" rel="nofollow">this link</a> to construct the javascript method.</li> <li>Then <code>submit</code> the <code>form</code> with the help of the javascript method itself.</li> <li><p>Then in your <code>processAction</code> method you can separate the <code>Id</code>s from the comma-separated string received as:</p> <pre><code>String allIds = ParamUtil.getString(actionRequest, "allCheckedIds"); //allIds = "1,2,3,4,5,6"; // this is how the Ids might look long[] idArray = StringUtil.split(allIds, ",", 0); // were 0 is the default value </code></pre></li> <li><p>Now pass these Ids to the service layer to delete them.</p></li> </ol> <p>That's it. Simple isn't it.</p> <p>There is also a similar method used by liferay, you can check the <code>Document Library Display</code> portlet for this. If you use <code><liferay-ui:searchContainer></code> to display your list then you can take advantage of how liferay does this for you.</p> <p>I will provide some pointers in this direction, you can check the source:<br> <a href="https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/6.1.x/portal-web/docroot/html/portlet/document_library_display/view_file_entries.jspf" rel="nofollow"><code>view_file_entries.jspf</code></a>, check out the line <a href="https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/6.1.x/portal-web/docroot/html/portlet/document_library_display/view_file_entries.jspf#L43" rel="nofollow"><code>rowChecker="<%= entriesChecker %>"</code></a> whick creates the check-boxes for you and then check-out [<code>'<portlet:namespace />deleteEntries'][4],</code> javascript method which actually sends the request to the action class. There are jsps and action classes which you can check-out, but I will that upto you to explore. :-)</p> <p>Happy Exploring.</p>
