Hi people,

I need to migrate from 6.2 to 7.2 dxp Liferay portal version. I cannot create a new fragment module or a other modules.

Into liferay-hook.xml file is defined this struts action

	<struts-action>
		<struts-action-path>/journal/edit_article</struts-action-path>
		<struts-action-impl>me.hook.action.CustomEditArticleAction</struts-action-impl>
	</struts-action>

And this is the CustomEditArticleAction class:

public class CustomEditArticleAction extends BaseStrutsPortletAction {
    ...
	@Override
	public String render(StrutsPortletAction originalStrutsPortletAction, 
	        PortletConfig portletConfig,
			RenderRequest renderRequest,
			RenderResponse renderResponse) throws Exception {
        logger.info("RENDER");
        ...
    }

    @Override
	public void processAction(
			StrutsPortletAction originalStrutsPortletAction,
			PortletConfig portletConfig, ActionRequest actionRequest,
			ActionResponse actionResponse)
		throws Exception {
        logger.info("PROCESS ACTION");
        ...
    }

    	@Override
	public void serveResource(
			StrutsPortletAction originalStrutsPortletAction,
			PortletConfig portletConfig, ResourceRequest resourceRequest,
			ResourceResponse resourceResponse)
		throws Exception {
        logger.info("SERVE RESOURCE");
        ...
    }
}

I'm able to build and successfully deploy generated WAR, but if I go to edit a web content nothing happens.

I read this article https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029005292-Upgrading-Struts-Action-Hooks, so I create a new package, me.hook.action.mvccommands, and I started to implements the MVCRenderCommand in order to hook the render method.

This is the new class

package me.hook.action.mvccommands;
@Component(
	    immediate = true,
	    property = {
	        "javax.portlet.name=" + JournalPortletKeys.JOURNAL,
	        "mvc.command.name=/journal/update_article",
	        "service.ranking:Integer=100"
	    },
	    service = MVCRenderCommand.class
	)
public class CustomEditArticleMVCRenderCommand implements MVCRenderCommand {
	@Override
	public String render(RenderRequest renderRequest, RenderResponse renderResponse) throws PortletException {
		
		logger.info("RENDER");
        ...
    }
}

but, unfortunately, even in this case nothing happens.

I tried to set inside the liferay-plugin-package.properties the following props

Bundle-Name: Edit Article Hook
Bundle-SymbolicName: me.hook.action.mvccommands
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0

with no results.

What am I missing?

Can you help me?

Thank you
