Description: For Servlet configuration in Liferay DXP portlet, we will need to make necessary changes to the configuration files. Start with making a plugin custom portlet and add a servlet to this portlet, then do following configurations

Step 1: Make sure bnd file has web context path (bnd.bnd)

Bundle-Name: hello-world-service

Bundle-SymbolicName: HelloWorldService

Bundle-Version: 1.0.0

Web-ContextPath: /myContext

Step 2: Make sure gradle file has servlet dependency added. (build.gradle)

dependencies {

......

compileOnly group: "javax.servlet", name: "javax.servlet-api", version: "3.0.1"

....

}

Step 3: web.xml should have servlet mapping. You may have to create web.xml if it does not exist at the following path: \hello-world-service\src\main\resources\WEB-INF

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>helloWorldServlet</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>/MyServlet</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

URL to Access: http://localhost:8080/o/myContext/MyServlet
