Sou novato no portal liferay. Eu desenvolvi um portlet no liferay para demonstração. Eu usei a comunicação entre portlets neste exemplo. O que estou fazendo é: - Eu tenho um portlet de pesquisa no qual estou tendo um campo de texto para pesquisa. Quando clico no botão de pesquisa, ele busca os dados do banco de dados e exibe esses dados usando a pesquisa contida em outro portlet. Usei as anotações ProcessEvent e ActionEvent para este projeto.

Agora, o que eu quero é que quando clico no botão de pesquisa, a página não deve ser atualizada (ou seja, desejo usar o conceito de AJAX) e os dados devem ser exibidos no outro portle
