[SOLVED] Service builder doesn't delete table in DB

Service builder doesn't delete table in DB

Hi all,

I'm using LR 6.1.

I created a new entity Called " Recommendation" in service.xml then a run BuildServices with Ant to generate the service builder Files. Now I want to delete the Entity. So I Deleted if from service.xml, but nothing happens in Data base and the other files: The Database Table is here and the other generates File.

any idea?

Thanks a lot.

Solution

Liferay will never ever delete a table which has been in your service.xml but is now deleted. Also it will not delete any of the classes generated by a build-service command. For example it could be the case, that you refactored your portlet to 2 different projects. On a deploy, you don't want to lose all your data, only because the table is now defined in a different service.xml. So don't see this as a bug, more a security feature. If you want to delete the table, you have to issue a drop command on your database, and manually delete the Service files generated by Liferay Service Builder.
