Points to remember when we write the custom login portlet

-


Suppose you need to create the custom login portlet, which does not satisfy the default liferay's login portlet. then you need to update the following properties in the portal-ext.properties.

1. If your portlet name is "Custom login" then you need to update this property

     auth.login.portlet.name=Custom login.

2. Also we need to mention the Page name(friendly URL) where this login portlet resides.

    auth.login.url=/web/guest/login

-
Sometimes we have to know SQL query hiting in DB to retrieve the list. Suppose When we are writing the DynamicQuery , Some times we have to know SQL query it is generating to hit DB.
