How do I use another custom portlet's service layer in Liferay 6.0.6

Question

I have tried two things:

1. Specified the first portlet as a Required Deployment Context in the second portlet's liferay-plugin-package.properties.
2. Added the first portlet's portlet service jar to teh second portlet's web app libraries folder.

Neither worked. I still get the ff. exception when I try a dynamic query on the first portlet's service.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.foo.bar.model.impl.MyPojoImpl

Answer 1

See http://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-13073. Either upgrade plugin SDK to later than 6.0.5 or follow patching instructions in second comment.

Answer 2

Try removing the required deployment context from liferay-plugin-package.properties. After you are done creating service, move the your-service.jar in tomcat/lib/ext folder. Make sure none of your portlet has your-service.jar in its lib folder and then try calling the service.
