Dependency Management

For development using the Liferay Platform, update Liferay Workspace to use the  latest dependencies, by adding the following line to the build.gradle file:

dependencies {
	compileOnly group: "com.liferay.portal", name: "release.portal.api"
}

All portal dependencies are now defined with a single declaration. When using an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ all apis are immediately available in autocomplete for immediate use.  

By setting a product info key property it will be possible to update all dependencies to a new version by updating the liferay.workspace.product property in the liferay workspace projects gradle.property file:

liferay.workspace.product = portal-7.4-ga10

When using an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ all apis are immediately available in autocomplete for immediate use.

Features

Core Infrastructure

Remove SOAP services

Our deprecated SOAP web services have finally been removed.

We have been leveraging an old version of Axis that has reached end of life many years ago. This current version has many security issues so we have decided to remove support since the feature was already deprecated.

If you need to access any services remotely, please leverage our REST-based web services.

Great job, thanks.

Unfortunately, I have an unusual issue with submit buttons and < header navigation buttons not working as expected or at all.  Content creation pages don't seem to respond as they previously did, i.e., returning to the folder view after content has been submitted.
