In the tutorial for Overriding MVC Commands, the tutorial mentions to make a reference to the original MVC Command as follows:

@Reference(
    target = "(&(mvc.command.name=/blogs/edit_entry)(javax.portlet.name= + BlogsPortletKeys.BLOGS_ADMIN + "))")
protected MVCRenderCommand mvcRenderCommand;

However, this reference will fail after several redeploys, because there will be a circular reference - the new MVC Command has the same mvc.commmand.name and javax.portlet.name as the reference command.

Instead, I talked to another Liferay employee who suggested to use

@Reference(
    target = "(component.name=<original_mvc_command_classname>)")

This direct reference to the component's classname will ensure that the original MVC command is used.
