RestrictionsFactoryUtil.ne method in Liferay 7.3 fails with empty spacesRestrictionsFactoryUtil.ne method in Liferay 7.3 fails with empty spaceshttps://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_thread?p_l_id=119785294&threadId=1207792632026-04-05T07:39:20Z2026-04-05T07:39:20ZRestrictionsFactoryUtil.ne method in Liferay 7.3 fails with empty spacesKevin Neibargerhttps://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=1207792622021-05-11T14:20:36Z2021-05-11T14:20:36Z<p>So, I'm converting my companies flagship product from Liferay 6.2 to
Liferay 7.3 GA7 and I've noticed either a possible bug or something
that's been removed. I'm just wondering if anything replaces the old functionality. </p>
<p>In 6.2, I would call a DynamicQuery using the OR Junction and
appending the following</p>
<p>
<strong>junction.add(RestrictionsFactoryUtil.ne("<COLUMN_NAME>", ""));</strong></p>
<p>It would always return results, but after converting to 7.3, it
returns 0 results every time.. I noticed it when generating a list of
state codes. Occasionally when we load data into our DB we will have
an empty space for a row. We can clean this up, but sometimes it may
be needed per the DB admins. What's odd, is that is no errors, the
query just returns 0 results. When I remove that line it works fine. </p>
<p>I was wondering, is this a bug or something that was removed?</p>Kevin Neibarger2021-05-11T14:20:36Z
