I just deployed the portal to weblogic, I copied all the jars I could find in the zip I downloaded and it has a lot of jars, here is the list:

Does portal really need all those jars? They take more than 100mb together. It looks like it uses all the java technologies and dependent on all of them - I don't want to install this into weblogic lib directory since it might create compatibility issues with other components that use the same jars but different versions.

Also in my company to deploy into production environment due to security we need to build from source and to only use approved jars from common environment - it might be very hard to get all the 180 jars that liferay depends on in the right version.

Can someone please help me here - is there a way to minimize the number of jars?

[13年前 に Mika Koivisto によって更新されました。]

All of those jars should be in portal-web.war!/WEB-INF/lib and not in some common classloader of WebLogic. And the answer is yes Liferay requires all of those jars to function 100%. Removing one will break some functionality.

I see, I guess no way around it. I did put the jars in portal-web.war!/WEB-INF/lib, but as I said my problem is that we have a restricted deployment process, we need to build from source and reference jars from common repository that I can't just put jars into. But I could maybe deploy all the jars one time as an exception and then just reuse them.

Is there a list of versions used of each jar/library?

[13年前 に Mika Koivisto によって更新されました。]

Check lib/versions.xml. It has all the library versions listed. You should know that some libraries has been patched or otherwise modified by Liferay. It's all documented in versions.xml.

Thanks a lot!

I see the versions, I don't see much information about patches, I guess when the version looks like date it means it's not a stable release but something with patch applied.
