Getting an error on the Liferay training
Junior Member Posts: 50 Join Date: 4/24/15 Recent Posts

I am following the training 'Backend Modules- Developing real world applications' and getting an error in the 'AssignmentServiceSoap.java'

"The type javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files". I added the javax.servlet and portlet.api-3.0.0 to the build path, but when I build the gradle project, it goes away and the error comes back. 

 

thanks,

Anu

Can you elaborate on "it goes away"? How do you add the dependencies to the build path?

I add dependencies to the build path by right clicking the project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path and added the external jars, javax.servlet.jar and portlet-api-3.0.0.jar. The error goes away temporarily but when I refresh the gradle, the added jars are gone and the error is showing again.

Related issue :- When I build my jar, I get the following error 

 

Execution failed for task ':gradebook-service:compileJava'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':gradebook-service:compileClasspath'.
   > Could not find javax.portlet:portlet-api:.
     Required by:
         project :gradebook-service
   > Could not find javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:.
     Required by:
         project :gradebook-service

 

I have the following dependencies in my build.gradle 

    compileOnly group: "javax.portlet", name: "portlet-api"
     compileOnly group: "javax.servlet", name: "javax.servlet-api"

I got it resolved. I had to put the version number. Entered the following lines and it is compiling fine now

     compileOnly group: "javax.portlet", name: "portlet-api", version: "2.0"
    compileOnly group: "javax.servlet", name: "javax.servlet-api", version: "3.0.1"
