Liferay Export/Import LAR: automated

Question

is there a way to create/export a LAR from liferay server A and import this in liferay server B with a script or even a maven/hudson plugin? I'm using Liferay 6.0.5.

thanks, Stijn

Answer 1

The best way to achieve what you want is to make use of scheduling for remote publication. You can find this option in the manage pages portlet.

Answer 2

Keep in mind that you can deploy servlets in Liferay. I would package the war file as a "web" plugin as described in this article on Nabble in order to access the Liferay APIs. From here you could perform whatever units of work you want, of which exporting a lar file. Call the servlet URL with the appropriate parameters and you're g2g.
