Where to place resource-action-mapping in Liferay-Portlet?

Question

I am trying to add permissions to a Liferay-Portlet based on the documentation of Liferay. Since the Portlet will be delivered in a war-package, I want to mantain the permission definition of the portlets inside the portlet itself.

I created a file resource-actions.xml with the following content (portlet-name is identical to the name specified in portlet.xml and liferay-*.xml):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<resource-action-mapping>
<portlet-resource>
    <portlet-name>test-portlet</portlet-name>
    <supports>
        <action-key>SELECT</action-key>
        <action-key>VIEW</action-key>
        <action-key>TEST_PERM</action-key>
    </supports>
    <community-defaults>
        <action-key>VIEW</action-key>
    </community-defaults>
    <guest-defaults>
        <action-key>VIEW</action-key>
    </guest-defaults>
</portlet-resource>

There is no model-resource defined, because first I just want to see, if Liferay loads the permissions I set in the mapping file.

I placed the file in the folders - WEB-INF - WEB-INF/classes - inside the portal-impl.jar of Liferay - ...

But the new permission TEST_PERM does not show up under Control Panel -> Roles -> Define Permissions -> Add Portlet Permissions -> test-portlet. Does anybody know, what I am doing wrong here?
