Issue

  • When deploying a spring portlet WAR using JDK 17 or JDK 21, the following deployment error appears in the Liferay logs:
    Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: com.liferay.portal.osgi.web.servlet.jsp.compiler; resolution:="optional"_ Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: com.liferay.portal.spring.context; resolution:="optional"_ Unresolved requirement: Require-Capability:osgi.ee; filter:="(osgi.ee=UNKNOWN)"_ [Sanitized]

Environment

  • 2024.Q1

Resolution

  • Liferay DXP uses an OSGi-based framework that requires modules to specify their Java Execution Environment (osgi.ee). However, WAR-based portlets lack this declaration.

  • During deployment, Liferay tries to wrap the WAR as an OSGi bundle but fails due to the missing osgi.ee version, assigning it "UNKNOWN", which leads to deployment errors.

  • To prevent this error,  disable OSGi execution environment validation by adding the following line to the liferay-plugin-package.properties or bnd.bnd file:
    -noee: true
  • Once the module is redeployed, the deployment should succeed without OSGi validation errors.
