login.events.post not getting triggered in Liferay 7.1

No need for any portal-ext.properties any more - you'll just need to deploy the declarative service (@Component).
Check if it's indeed active: Go to Gogo Shell and enter "inspect cap service bundleid" (of course with your bundle's own id (find out which by typing "lb" in gogo shell). As your service here might be simplified, there might be unmet dependencies, leading to your portlet being available, but the post-login action unavailable.

Hi Olaf! Thanks for the reply... In my code i have some more functions other than System.out.println, which i did not add here. I have this CustomLoginPostAction in one of my portlet. As we upgraded from 6.1 to 7.1 this post.login.event stopped working. Whether this works in Portlets or should i create new Liferay Module Project. Should we add this post.login.events to the portal-ext.properties at root folder of Liferay? Thanks in advance!

I've seen System.out.println() being swallowed often. Please use logging, or set a breakpoint in the debugger, i.e. make extra extra extra sure that your code is not called. Just observing that a System.out message doesn't appear is not enough. (use log.error, or make sure that info messages are indeed displayed)

You also don't need the portal-ext.properties entry. And note that your changes should go to portal-ext.properties (not portal.properties) anyway

   private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(CustomLoginPostAction.class);
   private boolean logUserLoginDate = true;

   @Override
   public void processLifecycleEvent(LifecycleEvent lifecycleEvent) throws ActionException {
       // TODO Auto-generated method stub
       System.out.println("CustomLoginPostAction-------------------event triggered");

LOG.info("DEVELOPER says hello my login");
