Issue

  • I would like to implement many-to-many relationship between my entity and an existing Liferay entity (for example the User table).

Environment

  • DXP 7.0+

Resolution

  • Implementing relationships with the existing Liferay entities via the Service Builder is not supported since the Liferay tables cannot be modified.
  • The join table and the required methods can be implemented manually.
