Issue

  • You would like to have a per-instance properties file after adding -Dcompany-id-properties=true in setenv or system-ext properties.
  • While infrequent, a StackOverflowError can be reproduced and potentially flooding the log file:

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.3, 7.4, Quarterly Releases

Resolution

  • Although it may work in some cases, enabling -Dcompany-id-properties=true is not supported:  "As of DXP 7.3, the per-virtual instance portal properties file feature has been removed. DXP no longer applies per-instance properties from files of the format portal-[companyId].properties to instances matching the company IDs."
  • Instance properties should be moved to the portal-ext.properties file:
    1. Remove the -Dcompany-id-properties=true property from the Java options in the setenv.sh file.
    2. Consolidate all portal properties into a single portal-ext.properties file. If you are using separate properties files for different virtual instances (e.g., portal-<id>.properties), merge their contents into the main portal-ext.properties file. A custom prefix or suffix can be added to the moved instance properties, if needed.
    3. Restart the Liferay server after making these changes.
