Hey everyone,
i was recently wondering about the following question:
When I want to inject a liferay service into my module, how do I do
that correctly?
Example:
I'm developing a JSF Portlet and want to
access my custom service-builder service (let's call it CustomEntityLocalServiceImpl).
When developing a JSF Portlet, I know
from the documentation to do it with the ServiceTracker approach.
When developing a liferay service
builder module and I want to use
the CustomEntityLocalServiceImpl, I will generate
setters for the services interface and annotate the setters with:
@Reference(unbind = "-")
to get the service injected into my
service by the osgi runtime.
I also saw this approach while browsing
through the forums:
@ServiceReference(type =
CustomEntityLocalService.class)
private
CustomEntityLocalServiceImpl customEntityLocalService;
So what approach is considered best practice when ..
.. I want to inject a portal-impl
service into my JSF-Porlet?
.. I want to inject a portal-impl
service into my service builder module?
.. I want to inject a service builder
custom service into my JSF-Porlet?
.. I want to inject a service builder
custom service into my service builder custom service?
Also:
From what I read in the forums etc,
the CustomEntityLocalServiceUtil approach is
considered bad because there is no way to guarantee that the service
is available.
But when I'm developing within my custom service builder module and
want to reference a service within the same service.xml, I could use
it, or is it still considered bad?
Thanks for reading :)
