Configuration mode in Liferay 5.2 SP3

Creating custom mode in liferay portlet

To create Configuration mode in liferay first of all you need to make entry in liferay-portlet.xml

<configuration-action-class>com.custom.portlets.action.ConfigurationActionImpl</configuration-action-class>
ConfigurationActionImpl extends BaseConfigurationAction which is available in portal-kernal.jar

Basically you need to implement two methods inside this class
1) Render()
2) ProcessAction()
Render method takes PortletConfig, RenderRequest, RenderResponse and returns the configuration page (Page to display in custom mode)

	public class ConfigurationActionImpl extends BaseConfigurationAction {
	public void processAction(
	PortletConfig portletConfig, ActionRequest actionRequest,
	ActionResponse actionResponse)
	throws Exception {
	//Logic for action
	}
	public String render(
	PortletConfig portletConfig, RenderRequest renderRequest,
	RenderResponse renderResponse)
	throws Exception {
	List<product> productList = Collections.EMPTY_LIST;
	try {
	productList = ProductLocalServiceUtil.getProducts(0, ProductLocalServiceUtil.getProductCount());
	} catch (SystemException e) {
	_log.debug(e);
	}
	renderRequest.setAttribute("productList", productList);
	return "/pageForCustomMode.jsp";
	}
	}
