SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Liferay developers need a structured approach to building OSGi modules that leverage Declarative Services, bundle metadata, and admin configurations to deploy robust portlets and services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Declarative Services annotations: @Component, @Reference, @Activate, @Deactivate for lifecycle and service injection.
  • Bundle metadata and module configuration: bnd.bnd, Fragment Host guidance, and Configuration Admin usage to manage settings.
  • Operational patterns: Gogo Shell usage, Service Ranking for overrides, and best practices/anti-patterns to follow in Liferay deployments.

Quick Start

Create a new Liferay OSGi module project, implement a DS component, and bundle it with bnd to deploy on Liferay.

Frequently Asked Questions about liferay-osgi

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Liferay OSGi modules using Declarative Services annotations?▼

Liferay OSGi modules use Declarative Services annotations like @Component, @Reference, @Activate, and @Deactivate to manage service injection and component lifecycles without manual registration.

How do I manage admin-configurable settings in a Liferay OSGi bundle?▼

Admin-configurable settings in a Liferay OSGi bundle are managed using Configuration Admin patterns, allowing safe component configuration across different Liferay environments via bnd.bnd metadata.

What is the best way to override OSGi services in a Liferay deployment?▼

Overriding OSGi services in a Liferay deployment is best achieved using Service Ranking properties within your @Component annotation to prioritize custom implementations over default portlets.

When do I need a Fragment Host in a Liferay OSGi module?▼

A Fragment Host is needed in a Liferay OSGi module when you must attach additional resources or override static files within an existing host bundle without modifying its original source.

How do I use bnd.bnd metadata to build and deploy Liferay portlets?▼

bnd.bnd metadata defines bundle instructions, package imports, and exports to properly build and deploy Liferay portlets as OSGi modules within the Liferay environment.

Can I use Gogo Shell to inspect Declarative Services in Liferay?▼

Yes, Gogo Shell can be used to inspect Declarative Services in Liferay, allowing developers to query active OSGi components, verify service references, and troubleshoot deployment issues.
