liferay hook deployment - event class not found exception

I create a hook plugin with liferay-sdk-6.0.6 and define a servlet.service.events.pre event handler : 

<service>
    <service-type>servlet.service.events.pre</service-type>
    <service-impl>com.ggd543.liferay.ServicePreAction</service-impl>
</service>

When i deploy it onto liferay-6.0.6-ce bundled jboss 5.1.0 GA, I got the following error: 

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: application.startup.events
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)

Is there any wrong in my liferay-hook.xml ?

Solution

  • Yes. From Liferay 6 you dont define events like that in liferay-hook.xml. You have to create property hook and define your event in the property file. Some thing like below

    liferay-hook.xml

    <hook>
    <portal-properties>portal.properties</portal-properties>

</hook>

    portal.properties

    servlet.service.events.pre=com.ggd543.liferay.ServicePreAction
