Can't deploy a hook

[Martin Phee, modificado hace 12 años.]

I'm trying to deploy a hook and keep getting these errors. I get the same error on 6.0.6 EE and 6.0.5.

Hi Martin,
Remove <portal-properties></portal-properties> tag from liferay-hook.xml file under WEB-INF, if you do not have any custom property to be set in portal.properties.
Re generate war file and deploy it.

Thanks,
Ronak

I have this in my portal.properties file.
servlet.service.events.pre=com.liferay.portal.events.ServicePreAction,com.apolloglobal.liferay.pre.AddPermCheckerHook.AddCarbonPermissions

How else would I get liferay to call my hook?

[Thiago Leão Moreira, modificado hace 12 años.]

How is your liferay-hook.xml is configured?

[Martin Phee, modificado hace 12 años.]

<hook>
<portal-properties>portal.properties</portal-properties>
</hook>

I have my file here: [app-root]/docroot/WEB-INF/src/portal.properties

IN my file I have:
servlet.service.events.pre=com.liferay.portal.events.ServicePreAction,com.apolloglobal.liferay.pre.AddPermCheckerHook.AddCarbonPermissions

I want the orignal to run and then mine. I've tried it with just my hook and get the same results.

thanks for help!

Can you check that the same is available in classes folder?
Looks like it is missing there.

[Martin Phee, modificado hace 12 años.]

It's there, but liferay changes it. What's base.path supposed to reference?

servlet.service.events.pre=com.liferay.portal.events.ServicePreAction,com.apolloglobal.liferay.pre.AddPermCheckerHook.AddCarbonPermissions



base.path=/Users/mphee/development/app_servers/liferayDev/tomcat/webapps/add-perm-checker-hook/WEB-INF/classes/portal.properties

[Ronak Patel, modificado hace 12 años.]

Try setting below in your portal.properties file in hook:

include-and-override=portlet-ext.properties.

base.path=[server location]/webapps/hook-name/WEB-INF/classes/portlet.properties

Same. I tried portal-ext.properties and portal.properties.

The base.path is set correctly by liferay to:
base.path=/Users/mphee/development/app_servers/liferayDev/tomcat/webapps/add-perm-checker-hook/WEB-INF/classes/portal.properties

Well after struggling with this issue, I made this work as well:

What is really important is that portal.properties file exists in the final war file (WEB-INF/classes) of the pluggin hook.

If you are not using ant but Maven to build the hook pluggin (like me), be sure you include your properties file in the src/resource folder (that will be by default by maven moved to the WEB-INF/classes when building the war file)

It might sound trivial, but It took me time to figure this out.

I faced this issue, and now I fond the solution.

For Maven project (like me as below, I put portal.properties in src/main/resource/) and it run normally

.......\WORKSPACE\EXAMPLE-01
|   .classpath
|   .project
|   pom.xml
+---src
|   |---main
|       +---java

|               |   web.xml
|               |   
|               |---src

<!--?xml version="1.0"?-->


<hook>
	<portal-properties>portal.properties</portal-properties>
	
    <custom-jsp-dir>/META-INF/custom_jsps</custom-jsp-dir>
</hook>

Can you please provide your liferay-hook.xml file?
