Environment

  • Liferay Portal 6.2
  • JBoss EAP 7.0
  • Liferay DXP 7.0

Resolution

  • This issue only reproduces when GZIP filter is disabled in the portal-ext.properties, that is "com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.gzip.GZipFilter= false"
  • By default, the value of this property is true in the portal.properties.
  • # If the user can unzip compressed HTTP content, the GZip filter will
     # zip up the HTTP content before sending it to the user. This will speed up
     # page rendering for users that are on dial up.

     com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.gzip.GZipFilter=true
  • Commenting/removing this property from portal-ext.properties resolves the issue. Below are steps to remove/comment the property.
    1. Shut down the server.
    2. Comment out/ remove the above property from portal-ext.properties.
    3. Clear the tmp folder from the standalone folder.
    4. Restart the server.

Additional Information

  • The observed behaviour was reported in LPS-54266 and is Fixed in Liferay DXP 7.0 from Fix-pack de-22 onward.
  • This issue is related to MIME type and the observed behaviour is specific to JBoss Application Server, where JBoss overrides the response header (Content-type) set in the JSP files, and then browsers (ex. Chrome) refuse to interpret the javascript.
