Run a method of setup of liferay portal

I have a hook where to add an organization and few custom field variables (Expando Variables) automatically to a liferay portal. How do I run that hook or a method in the hook during liferay setup or the first time I start a liferay portal? Does anyone have any links or codes for this?

Thanks

Solution

  • To reiterate your requirement you need to do some custom actions when Liferay server is started, so from what I understand you need a startup custom action hook.

    This is nothing but a simple hook where you would override some porperties from portal.properties and provide a custom action class like MyCustomStartupAction or MyCustomGlobalAction in that property and implement it.

    In the user-guide here is a list of some properties you can configure: Startup Events

    This SO Answer gives more information about creating a hook with such properties.
