Mika Koivisto 15 Years Ago Very nice! That really makes customization easier. One question a colleague of mine asked today about this very thing is: Can you defined your custom AuthenticatorS with hooks or is that still something you need to deploy to the core portal?

Cancel Ray Augé Helmi Mahara 15 Years Ago You can use ServiceBuilder from the plugins SDK, you don't need hooks, although you can combine that and hooks to achieve different types of integrations. See the example portlets in the SVN repository, plugins repository portlets, or wiki for how to use ServiceBuilder in plugins SDK.

Erik M 15 Years Ago Hi,From my LoginPostAction defined in liferay-hook.xml I'm trying to use the session attribute "com.liferay.portal.servlet.SharedSessionAttributeCache" with no success. I can get the object, using session.getAttribute("com.liferay.portal.servlet.SharedSessionAttributeCache"); but when I try to cast it to a 'usable' type, com.liferay.portal.servlet.SharedSessionAttributeCache, I either get an class not found exception, or a class cast exception (com.liferay.portal.servlet.SharedSessionAttributeCache cannot be cast to com.liferay.portal.servlet.SharedSessionAttributeCache)The problem (I guess) is that my hook is lodad in the webbapps classloader and my webbapps classloder dont have access to the SharedSessionAttrributeCache class from portal-impl.jar (loaded by ROOT-webbapp). To use the same classloader using <Context> <Loader loaderClass="com.liferay.support.tomcat.loader.PortalClassLoader"/></Context>is not an option (different versions of some libraries in webbapp than in LR). I have tried including the portal-impl.jar file as well as just putting a version of class file in web-inf/classes/ with no success. How can I form my LoginPostAction access the sharedSessionAttributesCache which is pressent in the httpSession i can get from the request parameter. Is this a "bug" or am I missing something?Best regards Erik Please sign in to reply. Reply as...

Jose Ignacio Santa Cruz G. 14 Years Ago Quote: "Hooks can be built, packaged, and deployed, like other plugins, using the Liferay plugins SDK."But how?Portlets only need a create.sh/create.bat or similar, and a lot of easy and well documented step by steps instruction.I tried to make a language hook to overwrite some language files without any success. Tried making it by hand and couldn't even build the hook, and tried to deploy it as a new portlet making the war, deploying it but seeing no results at all.A fool-proof example and an easy to run shell script would be a great addition.

Edgar Vonk 14 Years Ago One thing that I struggle with is that I write a hook plugin I almost always need access to Liferay classes that are in the portal-impl.jar. This JAR is part of the ROOT.WAR and therefore you cannot access it from a Hook plugin. This means that I must add my custom code in the ROOT.WAR which defeats the whole purpose of Hook plugins.Even for a very simple custom landing page action this is the case because you need access to the LastPath class. The same goes for the WebKeys class.Any thoughts on this? I would very much like to see these classes be available to Hook plugins. Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel Ray Augé Edgar Vonk 14 Years Ago You're absolutely right! And your help would be much appreciated in helping us to track use cases we've overlooked. Please open a ticket for each case and we'll try to take care of those as soon as possible.I personally think the LastPath feature should be improved. It seems to be a constant barrier to developers.Note: Please never include the portal-impl.jar in your plugins. The problems that can arise are countless and undefined.

Alejandro Barrero Ray Augé 14 Years Ago Thank you for your reply, but I still need some direction. I created a servelet service pre hook with NetBeans; it works fine. Now I want to create a model listener event but NetBeans doesn´t have that option. The question is how do I create a model listener event hook? What files do I have to modify as related to the servlet service event and how should they get modified? Please sign in to reply. Reply as...
