Hello experts,

In our portal we do not want that the first name is obligatory (because of an automatic syncronisation between our DB and Liferay). Therefore I'm trying to modify the validateFullName procedure in the UserLocalServiceImpl class.

The "Minimizing the ext environment" Blog entry (http://www.liferay.com/de/web/amos.fong/blog/-/blogs/4487213) says to use a hook and to extend the UserLocalServiceWrapper class to override a *ServiceImpl.java class. In my class the Blog entry says to generate the class using:



Unfortunately the UserLocalServiceWrapper has no declaration of validateFullName and therefore I'm not able to override the control function which makes the firstname obligatory.

Could you please give me an idea what steps I to take to override the validateFullName procedure?

Greetings,
CM
