Introducing Portlet Generator 1.0

I’ve just added the portlet generator utility to this site.  This utility replaces the “create.bat” and “create.sh” scripts that come with Liferay’s PluginSDK.  It offers a GUI entry panel as well as the options to generate 4 different types of sample portlets: Struts, Spring, Struts2, and JSP.  I plan to add more functionality to this later and expand its offering if the need arises.

The Swing interface is very simple: just fill in the portlet name (or portlet id), the display name (what will be shown in the title) and select the type of portlet.  Then click the Generate button to make it all happen.  A couple of things to note:

1) Follow the instructions on the download page.
2)Be aware that the Struts and Struts2 samples come pre-packaged with the Liferay tomcat loader already set in the META-INF folder.  You’ll need to either change or delete according to your application server needs.

Jeff Robinson said on 01-12-2010

I’ll do the best I can; please describe the error and the Application Server you’re attempting to deploy to.

Note: the war file as distributed was tested on Tomcat 6.

I am using Tomcat 6 server.

A few more questions:

1. Are you seeing an error in the Tomcat console?

2. Are you using the Liferay extension environment or Plugin SDK?

3. If Plugin SDK, are you hot deploying the portlet?

Yes, the portlet should appear in your “Sample” applications category.

You should check your liferay-display.xml file located in the portlet’s WEB-INF folder. It should have a
category name=”category.sample” enclosing your portlet id name.
