First project migrated to 6.0.3
17 lipiec 2010 20:06
I already have several projects based on Liferay 6 branch, some of
them based on 6.0.1, some on 6.0.2. Few days ago first GA version of
Liferay 6 was
released so, it's time to move project forward.
Today was first - based on 6.0.1. Here is some notes for developers,
to know what expect from such migration:
- Database upgraded without any problems. Looks like error in
upgrade-script between 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 is fixed and now everything
works as expected. Simple place new Liferay instead old one and
connect to same DB;
- Dependencies - minor changes required (jstl.jar renamed to jstl-api.jar);
- Source code - some minor changes required because of changed API (expectable);
- JSP pages: here was major change I had to do: in my project jsp
pages was located in /WEB-INF/jsp, and Liferay 6.0.3 is not allowed
to load resources under WEB-INF (ok, I thin it is configurable - but
I will prefer to stay with standard configuration as much as
possible). So, I had to move jsp pages to /jsp (and of course change
all source-code). Hopefully it is very easy change.
So, migration from 6.0.1 to 6.0.3 works almost without any problems.
Good job Liferay Team!
