<p>Hi Russell,</p> <p>Thanks for your immediate response. Yes, I do have the compileOnly project declarations for guestbook-api and guestbook-service. Also, I have the correct import of the Reference class in the GuestbookPortlet. BTW, I found an alternate method to run the gradle tasks to build the jar files. I right click the gradlew.batch and run configurations and pick the gradle task to create the jar file. It is not throwing any errors but still I see the red mark on the guestbook-web project under the server.</p>

<p>Hi Anu, you probably already have this, but make sure you have the compileOnly project declarations for guestbook-api and guestbook-service in the web module's build.gradle file. And make sure you have the import for org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Reference</p> <p>You can run the gradle tasks right from the command line as well. Do you have blade installed? You can run</p> <p>blade gw clean</p>

<p>I am working through the tutorials 'Building a web application' in Liferay 7.2.</p> <p>When I add the references to the services in the 'GuestbookPortlet', I see an error message in the 'guestbook-web' deployed in the server. I am not able to find out what is wrong because all my gradle tasks are greyed out. </p> <p>    @Reference<br />    private GuestbookEntryLocalService _guestbookEntryLocalService;</p> <p>    @Reference<br />    private GuestbookLocalService _guestbookLocalService;</p>
