Override PortalLDAPImporterImpl using EXT plugin

[Kan Kon, módosítva 12 év-val korábban]

All,
Looking to override PortalLDAPImporterImpl using IDE's ext plugin. Created ext-spring.xml as following and created corresponding class file (com.home.portal.security.ldap.CustomPortalLDAPImporterImpl). Deployed successfully but it does not seem to take effect. I have tried using "ant deploy" and "ant direct-deploy". In both cases it did not work. Any clues? Thanks

did you check if the ext is placed in the right location ?

Usually Spring container looks for the bean files in META-INF folders of jars/wars or classpath or WEB-INF .

I believe I did as I have created files under ext-impl directory from IDE. Have you tried overriding the Impl before? If yes, would mind sharing a sample?

The ext-spring.xml is created at docroot/WEB-INF/ext-impl/src/META-INF/ext-spring.xml

[Samir Gami, módosítva 12 év-val korábban]

Below are the steps to override serviceImpl classes,

• First, create your own class com.test.security.ldap.CustomPortalLDAPImporterImpl
• Extends it with class (com.liferay.portal.security.ldap.PortalLDAPImporterImpl)
• Override only those methods in which you want to make modification,
• Create ext-spring.xml in your ext plugins at plugins/ext/<custom-ext-plugin>/docroot/WEB-INF/ext-impl/src/META-INF
• Find relevant spring bean entry from portal-spring.xml and change the class entry of that spring bean in ext-spring.xml,
• Deploy your ext plugin, make sure it deploy properly,

Hope this may helps,

Thanks & Regards,
Samir Gami

Hi Uday,

If you have portal-source with you then you can find it in portal-impl/src/META-INF.If not you can get it from portal-impl.jar file in your server side.

hi,
my custom EXT got executed. but when i deployed the war file into another machine and placed the jar file in WEB-INF/lib/.
it is not executed. Anything i am missing while deploying the war file.

Procedure i did:
1. Took the war file and deployed in another instance.
2. Placed the jar files in WEB-INF/lib/
3. Restarted the server.



Thanks
Udaya

Is that giving any exception (or) message ... && what are those jar files you kept in WEB-INF/lib??

[Udaya Ramakrishnan, módosítva 12 év-val korábban]

hi

i placed ext-impl.jar into the WEB-INF/lib folder.

Hi Samir,

I am looking to override ldap import action. Currently working on liferay 6.1 version.

Able to map basic ldap user attributes to liferay user fields. (like firstName, lastName, screenName, email, jobTitle )

Now, am looking to map LDAP phone and address to Liferay's existing phone and address fields.

Could you please guide me in doing this?

Can it be done using Hooks or I should work on EXT to implement this ? Any simple solution is highly appreciated.


Regards
Kaleem

ok, so primarily
i) You have to create an ext plugin.
ii) later you have to extend PortalLDAPImporterImpl as you mentioned by follwing the rules on how to extend.

Still you required any clarification.Let me know!

hi Anil,
i underwent a problem while creating EXT.
i override a class file under ext-services and the code working fine in the eclipse instance.
for deploying into another instance i ave to move the jar file rite,
but this ext-services does not create any jar files under "WEB-INF/lib/"
so, in order to deploy to another instance what i have t do?
ur help is much more useful for me, as i am having very short time

Thanks
