Issue

  • I see there are two ways to get Data from Liferay Objects

    • ObjectEntryLocalService

    • Rest Api

  • Calling Liferay Api externally outside Liferay platform will be using Rest Api

  • What if I need to get the value of an object Entry within Liferay platform?

  • Is it right to use an ObjectEntryLocalService to get the values or should I only use Rest Api for calling within the platform as well?

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • You can use ObjectEntryLocalService from the same Java VM, but it does not have any security checks, as it can be used only locally
  • Please check Class ObjectEntryLocalServiceUtil as for your reference
  • For remote we suggest use ObjectEntryService
