Frequently Asked Questions on Liferay DXP & Cloud

What is Liferay DXP and when should you upgrade?

Liferay DXP is an enterprise-grade digital experience platform used to build customer portals, intranets, and headless web applications. You should upgrade to Liferay DXP 7.4 if you need to automate content migrations, integrate modern frontend frameworks via Client Extensions, or deploy on Liferay Experience Cloud (LXC) for SaaS compliance.

How do Client Extensions replace legacy OSGi modules?

Liferay Client Extensions decouple custom development from the core portal server by using REST APIs, webhooks, and modern frontend frameworks (like React or Vue) instead of deploying Java JAR files into the OSGi container. This ensures that the platform can be upgraded seamlessly without breaking custom code.

What are the benefits of migrating Service Builder to Liferay Objects?

Migrating Service Builder to Liferay Objects replaces custom database-generation code with low-code, user-interface-driven data modeling. This reduces portal customization hours by up to 60%, automatically generates REST/GraphQL endpoints, and eliminates compilation and deployment downtime.
