Configuration of Liferay with JBOSS-7 Application server

SolutionAnalysts 

Configuration of Liferay with JBOSS-7 Application server is bit tricky than tomcat. After searching on internet for the same issue, I got confused that how to configure Liferay with JBOSS from scratch.

Then I came up with a good solution for it.  You will find below post very helpful which will guide you in a way by which you can run Liferay-JBOSS portal easily.

Step 1: To setup machine for Liferay development first of all you will need to download and install all required software as described below.

• JAVA (JDK & JRE)
• http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
•  Eclipse IDE   
• http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
• Liferay JBOSS bundle (Community Edition or Enterprise Edition as per your requirements and preferences), Liferay Tomcat bundle (For server run time selection), Liferay Plugin SDK (For Development of plugins like hooks, portlets, themes etc.
•  http://www.liferay.com/downloads/liferay-portal/available-releases
• Apache Ant (For build and deployment of projects).

Step 2: Now set environment variables in your machine.

       Set JAVA_HOME

  

    

  

   

    Set JBOSS_HOME

 

       

     

  

  

    Set LIFERAY_HOME

 

    

  

   

    Set ANT_HOME

 

   

  

   

     
Step 3: Open Eclipse and install Liferay IDE.
Go to Help -> Eclipse Marketplace

    Search for "Liferay".

 

   

    Install Liferay IDE and restart eclipse.

     Step 4: To configure Liferay Plugin-SDK

    Go to Window -> Preferences -> Liferay

 

   

    Add Liferay Plugin-SDK 

     

 

        

 

       

     Here you will option to update build.<username>.properties file. Select

     prompt.

     That's it your system is ready with development environment for Liferay.

       

     Step 6: In Liferay Plugin-SDK folder there will be a file called

     build.username.properties

     Set path of server to refer JBOSS directory.

     

 

    

   

  Step 7:Create new Liferay Plugin Project.

  Inside that Create New Portlet Project.

 

         

    

   Select Liferay Portal Runtime as Tomcat, because Eclipse doesn't provide

   runtime for JBOSS Application server so use some tricky way to deal with it.

    After clicking on finish it will ask for updating build.<username>.properties file.

    Select "No" option.

    Okay Now you are done with project creation and Setting  deployment server

    as JBOSS.

    Step 8: Deploy Liferay Portlet Project.

 

   

  

    Step 9: Run standalone.bat from bin directory of JBOSS  

    Step 10: From your browser type http://localhost:8080/
