Hi. I'm using liferay 6.1
I need to store some configuration parameters (key-value pairs) in DB. I have found 'global' table in liferay and the GlobalLocalServiceUtil class.
I can read data from it using GlobalLocalServiceUtil.getValue( {KEY} );
but I can't perform add or update - the addGlobal method requires parameter of type Global which is interface. Should I use GlobalImpl class as parameter? Any ideas?

If it is based upon ServiceBuilder, you call XxxLocalServiceUtil.createXxx(primary key) first, followed by XxxLocalServiceUtil.addXxx(instance).

Sorry, but I don't see any "Global" table in my liferay 6.1.0 CE? Did you create it? I thought Expando was the preferred way to save user custom data.

global table is not in Liferay, however I generally use a 'global' table in a 2nd 'biz' database as an approach for name/value pairs that I can use to differentiate values from dev to staging to prod ; and to flip things into debug mode on the fly for custom portlets

isDebug
isOrderTest
isContactTest
isShipTest
debugEmailFrom
debugEmailTo

and so on

There is nothing fancy about this. Just a 'global' table with a service.xml entity as below.


 1    <entity name="Global" table="global" data-source="myDataSource" local-service="true" remote-service="true" session-factory="mySessionFactory" tx-manager="myTransactionManager">
 2
 3        <column name="globalId" db-name="global_id" type="long" primary="true" id-type="sequence" id-param="global_id_seq"/>
 4
 5        <column name="name" type="String" />
 6        <column name="value" type="String" />
 7       
 8        <finder name="Name" return-type="Global" unique="true">
 9            <finder-column name="name" />
10        </finder>
11    </entity>

Hi, Jack.
Yes, I'm developer from AimProSoft company in Ukraine and I'm currently working on Collaborans project...
It was my mistake - I thought this was the Liferay's table emoticon

The beauty of using ServiceBuilder, however, was that we could answer the question even without having the actual table! emoticon

Happy coding Vitaliy (btw, it is Liferay v6.0.6 not v6.1).
