Issue
- When trying to update a Journal Article (i.e., a web content) using the service API
journalArticleLocalService.updateArticle(
journalArticle.getUserId(), journalArticle.getGroupId(),
journalArticle.getFolderId(), journalArticle.getArticleId(),
journalArticle.getVersion(), StringEscapeUtils.unescapeXml(content),
new ServiceContext()
);
the following error happens
com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.NoSuchGroupException: No Group exists with the primary key 0
even though the relevant group (i.e., the site) seems to be set correctly with journalArticle.getGroupId().
- Why does this error happen?
Environment
- Quarterly Release 2024.Q2, 2024.Q1, 2023.Q2, 2023.Q1
Resolution
- The error occurs because the object
ServiceContext doesn't have the information for the groupId.
- Make sure to establish it with
serviceContext.setScopeGroupId(article.getGroupId()).
