Using Relationship REST APIs

Liferay 7.4 U70+/GA70+

When you add relationships to custom or system objects, Liferay generates REST endpoints for accessing those relationships. You can relate and disassociate entries, as well as return an entry’s related entries. These endpoints are added to the parent object in one-to-many relationships and to both objects in many-to-many relationships.

To proceed, set up a new Liferay 7.4 instance and prepare the provided tutorial code. Then, run the scripts to create object entries and manage their relationships with one another.

Setting Up a Liferay Instance

docker run -it -m 8g -p 8080:8080 liferay/portal:7.4.3.132-ga132

Sign in to Liferay at http://localhost:8080. Use the email address [e-mail] and the password test. When prompted, change the password to learn.

Next, create three related custom objects:
