Hi,


I wants to add some functionality in login.jsp.

What can i prefer ext or hook for adding some functionality.and why?

Thanks,

Hook if you are just going to create a new field. There is a hack that will allow you to validate a field and throw an exception if someone put invalid data in a field so you don't have to create an ext environment.

Object obj = null;
try {
obj = ObjectLocalServiceUtil.validateFieldValue(someValue);
} catch (NoSuchObjException nsce) {
RequiredFieldException rfe = new RequiredFieldException("invalidInput", "value-not-found-error");
throw rfe;
}
//Add new object after validation

Hi Charu,

Intention of Ext plugin is to customize the huge changes of Liferay portal.

Hooks is for minor changes like Jsps ,properties , services and events.. also Action files cannot be changed through hooks.

Later version(6.1), Liferay has implemented to customize the hooks to change Action file too.
