C:\liferay\bundles\liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3\portal-ext.properties. This is the file need to be modified. Below properties need to be added in that file.

jdbc.default.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/lportal?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false
jdbc.default.username=root
jdbc.default.password=root

It is best practice to use <portlet:namespace/> tag before the form name. This tag generates unique namespace for every portlet, so that naming conflicts won't occur even multiple portlets in a page have same form name.

Below code will be sollution to your problem. <portlet:actionURL > will invoke processAction() method of same portlet. So you can write your required logic in the processAction() method. Using render you can redirect to required page or jsp.

<form action="<portlet:actionURL ><portlet:param name="action" value="editStocks"/></portlet:actionURL>" method="POST" name ="<portlet:namespace/>fm">

You can also send parameters using <portlet:param> tag.
