Welcome to XMLPortletFactory Home Site
XMLPortletFactory is a software tool that creates database tables maintenance (CRUD) portlets from XML files. Portlets generated only work on Liferay portals, and come out with source files (JSPs, .java, etc.) so programmers can extend and modify whatever is being generated to suit your software development needs. In Help and Support section you will find Wikis, Tutorials and samples to get started.
With XMLPortletFactory you will be able to generate full CRUD working portlets with ease, accelerating your development process, allowing you to focus on higher level tasks.
XMLPortletFactory is licensed under the terms of GNU General Public License version 3.0 (GPLv3), and is OS Independent.
Note: XMLPortletFactory is still a young project, which ha not passed all possible tests and although is very solid and I use it in production environments, you should use it after appropriate tests.
Some of the most noticeable benefits
- Frees you of 99% coding time in CRUD table maintenance portlets. You obtain full working portlet with all source code, programmers heaven!!!.
- No more problems with versions. You make one XML file, generate portlet in all 6.0.x, 6.1.x and 6.2.x versions of Liferay.
- Forget about creating tables. Because XMLPortletFactory uses Liferay's service builder, tables are automatically created for you at portlet deployment.
- Languages English, French, Italian, Finnish and Spanish allready implemented, easy to implement other languajes.
- Is GPLv3 licensed. The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.
- Your developed XMLs get the benefits of new XMLPortletFactory developments and improvements.
- Generated portlets use Liferay's search container, tags, etc. so they have very "Liferay" behavior, melting very well with themes.

Installation on Mac Yosemite
Hello everybody,
I will tell you mi experience. After put uncompressed folder XMLPortletFactory on SDK folder I try with XMLPortletFactory JAR directly:
liferay-sdk $ cd XMLPortletFactory
XMLPortletFactory $ java -jar XMLPortletFactory.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlException

After that try by console:
XMLPortletFactory $ ./create.sh hello-world \"Hello World\"
-bash: ./create.sh: Permission denied
FIRST TIP: Add permissions
XMLPortletFactory $ chmod 777 create.sh
XMLPortletFactory $ ./create.sh hello-world \"Hello World\"
-bash: ./create.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
Looking what errors mean, see create.sh code then I found this:
ant -Dportlet.name=$1 -Dportlet.display.name=\"$2\" -Dportlet.filename=$1 create
XMLPortletFactory $ ant -version
-bash: ant: command not found
I discover that ANT is missing by console...
SECOND TIP: ANT dependecy by console on Mac installation. You can use ANT traditional installation or use Homebrew (like me).
XMLPortletFactory $ brew update
XMLPortletFactory $ brew install ant
XMLPortletFactory $ ant -version
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.5 compiled on May 31 2015
XMLPortletFactory $ ./create.sh hello-world \"Hello World\"
-bash: ./create.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
Then try again with ANT comand directly:
THIRD TIP: User ANT command directly.
XMLPortletFactory $ ant -Dportlet.name=hello-world -Dportlet.display.name=\"Hello World\" -Dportlet.filename=hello-world create

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 8 seconds
