RE: Liferay in a software factory

Hi Fernand,

Yes, it's possible. The import and export processes are available through the LayoutService.exportLayouts(..) and LayoutService.importLayouts(..) methods of Liferay's Service Layer. This layer can be accessed remotely, for example from maven scripts, using a variety of mechanisms (Http serialization, Spring remoting, SOAP, RMI, ...).

OK, but I assume Liferay needs to be up and running already.
This is something which is not the case in our situation, as we are just building (unzipping) it during our build.

Still, based on this suggestion, we may want to start Liferay during the build, and then perform the import.
Will investigate that. Thanks !

- Fernand.
