Simple portlet not working

[Milan Kostoláni, modificado hace 11 años.]

Hello everyone,

I have done one bigger portlet, which for some reason isnt working, so I tried to make smaller one, here is the main code of portlet, but for some reason even this one is not working and even show error "BeanLocator is null for servlet context test2-portlet"
"BeanLocator has not been set for servlet context test2-portlet"

and while deploying "WARN [pool-2-thread-2][PluginPackageUtil:1131] Plugin package on context test2 cannot be tracked because this WAR does not contain a liferay-plugin-package.xml file" warning

service.xml:

<entity name="Test" local-service="true" remote-service="false"> 
<column name="testId" type="long" primary="true" />
				
		<column name="testName" type="String" />
		
		<column name="companyId" type="long" />
		<column name="groupId" type="long" /> 
		
		<order by="asc"> 
			<order-column name="testName" />
		</order>
		
		<finder name="G_D" return-type="Collection">
			<finder-column name="groupId" />
			<finder-column name="testName" />
		</finder>
		
		<finder name="GroupId" return-type="Collection">
			<finder-column name="groupId" />
		</finder>
		<finder name="CompanyId" return-type="Collection">
			<finder-column name="companyId" />
		</finder></entity>

impl:

public Test addTest(Test newTest, long userId)
			throws SystemException, PortalException{
				Test test = testPersistence.create(
						counterLocalService.increment(
								Test.class.getName()));
				
				resourceLocalService.addResources(
						newTest.getCompanyId(), 
						newTest.getGroupId(), 
						userId,
						Test.class.getName(), 
						test.getPrimaryKey(),
						false, true, true);
				
				test.setCompanyId(newTest.getCompanyId());
				test.setGroupId(newTest.getGroupId());
				test.setTestName(newTest.getTestName());
			
				testPersistence.update(test, false);
				return test;
			}

portlet:

public void addTest(ActionRequest request, ActionResponse response)
			throws Exception{
				ThemeDisplay themeDisplay =
			            (ThemeDisplay) request.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);
				Test test = ActionUtil.testFromRequest(request);
				
				if(ReqValidator.validateTest(test)){			
					TestLocalServiceUtil.addTest(test, themeDisplay.getUserId());			
				}
				}

view.jsp:

<portlet:actionurl name="addTest" var="addTestURL" /> 

	<aui:form action="<%= addTestURL.toString() %>" method="post"> 
		<aui:fieldset>
			
			<aui:input name="testName" size="25" /> 
		
			<aui:button-row align="right"> 
				<aui:button type="submit" value="Register Dog" /> 
			</aui:button-row>
		</aui:fieldset> 
	</aui:form>

Again?

This would seem to be another case of not using the Liferay IDE to create your project. Manually creating your project is prone to error in that you end up missing required stuff.

So it would seem that test2 is incomplete and fails to deploy. The bean locator is null is due to that failed deployment (since it is not deployed, it's services are unavailable and consumers of it's service get the 'bean locator is null' exception).

Hello.

I have the same problem. We have recently upgraded our production environment from "6.1.0 GA1 CE" to "6.1.1 GA2 CE". Everything seams to be working except we cant deploy any ext-plugins. They all work fine in the development environment but when we put them in the upgraded production environment, it feels as they are not deployed correctly.

For example I have created an ext-plugin that fixes a bug in the TemplateProcessor class. When its deployed this lines are written to catalina.out.
The war file is attached.

Any suggestions?

Hi Christian,

I think I've read somewhere in the forums or blogs that they've switched from "liferay-plugin-package.properties" to "liferay-plugin-package.xml".

TemplateProcessor-ext cannot be tracked because this WAR does not contain a liferay-plugin-package.xml file

Maybe it solves this issue if you update the eclipse Liferay IDE and re-build your plugin.

I am using the latest version of eclipse, liferay IDE and Liferay plugins SDK 6.1.1 GA2. There is never any liferay-plugin-package.xml file created in my project. Could you point me in any direction on how to create liferay-plugin-package.xml?

[Siby Mathew, modificado hace 11 años.]

Hi Christian,
In my IDE, the liferay-plugin-package.xml is automatically created for new layout templates.
This XML is having the same configuration as the liferay-plugin-package.properties.
As per my understanding, plugins were previously relying on this xml instead of the properties file.

Thanks,
Siby
