Steps to follow to deploy/undeploy the EXT

-

As we know that EXT is not hot deployable , we need to restart the server whenever it is deployed.

At first time we can deploy the EXT without any prob, but when we need to redeploy or undploying the EXT following things need to be followed.

1. Stop the tomcat server

2. Delete the temp and work folder of tomcat server. It will be reside in the <tomcat-home>. Probably it can as liferay-portal-6.2.10.1-ee-ga1\tomcat-7.0.42\temp and liferay-portal-6.2.10.1-ee-ga1\tomcat-7.0.42\work.

3. Make sure to delete the JAR files created when EXT is deployed. All the jar files will be created with name prefix as ext .

Jar files will be at <tomcat-home>/lib/ext it can liferay-portal-6.2.10.1-ee-ga1\tomcat-7.0.42\lib\ext.

                ext-*-ext-service.jar

Also it can also be at <tomcat-home>/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/ probably it can be as liferay-portal-6.2.10.1-ee-ga1\tomcat-7.0.42\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib

                ext-*-ext-impl.jar
                ext-*-ext-util-bridges.jar
                ext-*-ext-util-java.jar
                ext-*-ext-util-taglib.jar

4.  We also need to delete ext at webapps folder.

It's done. Now we have undeployed the ext plugin from the server.

Restart the server and deploy the ext plugin.

Viewing the SQL Query in liferay : debugging the SQL Query in Hibernate

-
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. So generally it is useful when we are debugging the Query it is generated. In hibernate we used the write the property in XML file as hibernate.show.sql to view the query. In Liferay also we can also set the below property to true in the portal-ext.properties to view the SQL query at the console. hibernate.show_sql=true. By adding the above property it will just reterive the parameters. What if we want to display the parameters. Add the below properties in log4j.properties it will display the paramters also. # logs the SQL statements #log4j.logger.org.hibernate.SQL=debug # Logs the JDBC parameters passed to a query #log4j.logger.org.hibernate.type=trace In Liferay log4j is located in the below location tomcat-7.0.42\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes Also we want t...

Executing the BackGround Task

In Liferay we can exceute the background task asynchrously. The Background Task framework allows the developers to create and manage any kind of tasks that need to be run in a separated thread without the need of knowing anything about JAVA threading or concurrency Here the code ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay) request.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY); Map taskContextMap = null; String taskName = null; String servletContextNames [] = new String[1] ; Portlet portlet = PortletLocalServiceUtil.getPortletById(request.getAttribute(WebKeys.PORTLET_ID).toString()); servletContextNames[0] = portlet.getContextName(); try { BackgroundTaskLocalServiceUtil.addBackgroundTask(themeDisplay.getUserId(), themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId(), taskName, servletContextNames,TestBackgroundTaskExecutor.class, taskContextMap,new ServiceContext()); } catch (PortalException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (SystemException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } ...
