Deploying in war

[Chris Jurado, modificado hace 6 años.]

So I noticed that I can deploy my JSF portlets to Liferay 7 by either dropping it into the /deploy folder or in the /osgi/war folder. Is there a preferred way to do it, or is the /deploy folder only a legacy option?

Thanks

The preferred way to deploy everything (war, osgi jars and lpgks) is to copy the file to ${liferay-home}/deploy folder

Okay thanks.

Just out of curiosity, what's the difference? Thanks!

Liferay deployer monitors deploy folder and does different actions depending on file type.
In the specific case of war files, they are copied to /osgi/war folder by deployer monitor, but I don't know deployer is doing additional actions or not.
So I think it is safer to deploy to /deploy folder in order to trigger deployer logic.

Hi Chris,

Putting artifacts in $LIFERAY_HOME/deploy is a legacy convention and backwards-compatible convenience, but it is fine to copy directly to the $LIFERAY_HOME/osgi/war folder which has the small benefit of not incurring the copy/move operation from $LIFERAY_HOME/deploy.

Hope that helps,
Vernon

Makes sense,

Thanks!
