Issue

  • Using the following method, to add file entries to the portal, at deployment: 
addFileEntry(   String externalReferenceCode, long repositoryId, long folderId,
                String sourceFileName, String mimeType, String title,
                String description, String changeLog, byte[] bytes,
                java.util.Date expirationDate, java.util.Date reviewDate,
                com.liferay.portal.kernel.service.ServiceContext serviceContext)
  • Receiving the following error during portal startup:
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.liferay.document.library.kernel.service.DLAppService.addFileEntry(Ljava/lang/String;JJLjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;[BLjava/util/Date;Ljava/util/Date;Lcom/liferay/portal/kernel/service/ServiceContext;)Lcom/liferay/portal/kernel/repository/model/FileEntry;

Environment

  • DXP 7.4

Resolution

Additional Information

  • There is addFileEntry method previously in DXP 7.2 as well, which has been deprecated: 
addFileEntry(    long repositoryId, long folderId, String sourceFileName,
                 String mimeType, String title, String description,
                 String changeLog, byte[] bytes,
                 com.liferay.portal.kernel.service.ServiceContext serviceContext)
  • Beware to import the right version of the package com.liferay.portal.kernel, as this can prevent you to use the correct function
