Documentation or Guidance on Writing Groovy Scripts for Liferay Objects
Dear Liferay Support Team,
I’m currently working on implementing custom workflow logic using Groovy scripts within Liferay, specifically targeting Liferay Objects. While I’ve reviewed the available documentation, I’m finding it challenging to locate comprehensive and up-to-date resources that explain how to effectively write Groovy scripts that interact with Liferay’s API—particularly when working with custom Objects and accessing their fields, services, or associated classes.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide or direct me to:
-
Official or recommended documentation for writing Groovy scripts in the context of Liferay workflows.
-
Examples or best practices for accessing and manipulating Liferay Object data within Groovy scripts.
-
A reference or list of commonly used Liferay service classes and how they can be accessed in workflow conditions or actions.
Having a clearer understanding of how to properly access object attributes and utilize Liferay’s internal classes will significantly help streamline our development process and avoid common pitfalls.
Thank you in advance for your assistance and support.
Best regards,
