Difference between UserServiceUtil and UserLocalServiceUtil?

[IGC SA, modificado hace 12 años.]

Hi, this is maybe a newbie question but I'm really wondering what's the difference between those two classes: UserServiceUtil and UserLocalServiceUtil. I'm doing things with users from my portlet and I don't wanna mess it up by using the wrong class.
I've seen other classes that are also duplicated with the -Local- word, for example PortalService and PortalLocalService
and I guess it means something and does something different.

Thank you in advance.

Hi IGC

Basically, the difference is that *ServiceUtil checks permissions and *LocalServiceUtil does not.

You can only use the UserLocalServiceUtil from the same VM; the UserServiceUtil is for remote calls and thus adds the extra permission checking.

Good to know that, thanks.

You use UserServiceUtil for remote calls (as a web service) and UserLocalServiceUtil for calls inside the same VM. If you want, you can disable the generation of the remote methods in the service builder with the parameter local-service="true" remote-service="false"

Does this mean that developping a portlet, one should only use the Local classes ?

Hi All

As per standard use UserLocalServiceUtil for applications deployed by portlet plugin. I you want to access via soap services then use UserServiceUtli.

As you said you can still go ahead and use UserServiceUtil for both local and remote services but it will do an extra check for permissions which will down grade your performance.
