Configuring service.properties

Service Builder generates a service.properties file in your *-service module’s src/main/resources folder. Liferay uses this file’s properties to alter your service’s database schema. Do not modify this file directly; instead make necessary property overrides in a service-ext.properties file in that same folder.

Here are some of the properties the service.properties file includes:

• build.namespace: This is the namespace you defined in your service.xml file. Liferay distinguishes different modules from each other using their namespaces.

• include-and-override: The default value of this property defines service-ext.properties as an override file for service.properties.
