Programmatically get the url of a page in liferay

I want to create a link in a portlet so that I can navigate to a different page in the liferay portal. I order to do that I am looking for an API (can be liferay specific) that given a page name, would return it's url (it can be the friendlyURL as well).

Solution

  • The API to access pages in Liferay is the LayoutService. However, page names are not unique in Liferay and furthermore they are internationalized. So you need some unique property for a page to retrieve its url, besides its name.

    If you really only have the page name, you can use LayoutLocalServiceUtil.getLayouts(...) to loop over all Layouts and check for some property (in this case its name).
