This is a Release Announcement for a Liferay Faces Update released in October, 2025 for compatibility with the following:

---

• Liferay DXP 2025.Q1 (see: FACES-3712)
• PrimeFaces 15.0.6 (Liferay Patched, see: FACES-3718)
• Mojarra 2.3.21 (Liferay Patched, see: FACES-3697)

To generate a JSF portlet:

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=com.liferay.faces.archetype \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=com.liferay.faces.archetype.jsf.portlet \
  -DarchetypeVersion=8.0.1 \
  -DgroupId=com.example \
  -DartifactId=my-jsf-portlet \
  -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \
  -Dpackage=com.example.portlet \
  -DinteractiveMode=fals

To generate a PrimeFaces portlet:

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=com.liferay.faces.archetype \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=com.liferay.faces.archetype.primefaces.portlet \
  -DarchetypeVersion=8.0.1 \
  -DgroupId=com.example \
  -DartifactId=my-primefaces-portlet \
  -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \
  -Dpackage=com.example.portlet \
  -DinteractiveMode=false

If you build a project generated from one of these archetypes then you will be able to get a local copy of the jar dependencies listed below:

mvn clean package

In order to support "thin" deployments, make sure the following are copied to $LIFERAY_HOME/osgi/modules and not present within the portlet WAR:

• jakarta.faces-2.3.21.LIFERAY-PATCHED-1.jar
• primefaces-15.0.6.LIFERAY-PATCHED-1.jar
• com.liferay.faces.bridge.ext-8.0.2.jar
• com.liferay.faces.bridge.api-6.0.0.jar
• com.liferay.faces.util-4.0.1.jar
• com.liferay.faces.bridge.impl-6.0.1.jar

In order to ensure that they are not present in the portlet WAR, build the generated archetype with the "thin" Maven profile.

mvn -P thin clean package

And combine that with the "cdi" profile in order to take advantage of CDI+OSGi integration:

mvn -P thin,cdi clean package
