OnlyOffice Connector for Liferay : deprecated classes and method

Docs

Hi,

The OnlyOffice Connector (2.2) for Liferay is broken on versions of Liferay Portal greater than 7.4.GA21.

This is due to the use of many deprecated/retired classes and methods in the connector.

Exemple :

ModelResourcePermissionHelper is deprecated and retired since 7.4ga21. But still used in the connector.
So it generates error on document library like this :
“java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.liferay.portal.kernel.security.permission.resource.ModelResourcePermissionHelper cannot be found by onlyoffice.integration.web_2.2.0”

You should use ModelResourcePermissionUtil.

But that’s not the only one. There is changes in DLApp methods (create/update).

Especially, ga39 have many removal of so called “unused method” that it is used on Action Menu customisations in the connector

So the actual releases are not eligibles for Lifeay 7.4ga21+…

My asks are :

  • Is there a roadmap for a next version of the connector, as I can’t see any code update since last April ?
  • would you accept our contributions on the project (developing, testing) ?
  • Or should we fork it to correct it ?

We have great experiences on Liferay portals, so we can bring our skills on the Liferay Connector project.

Regards

Hello @christophe.cariou
We are checking the described situation. We have run a quick test and it seems that you are right, there’s an issue with v.7.4.3.2-ga21.
I will notify you when we get any news.

  • Is there a roadmap for a next version of the connector, as I can’t see any code update since last April ?

Sorry, we don’t have public roadmap.

  • would you accept our contributions on the project (developing, testing) ?

You can create pullrequest on GitHub. As far as I understand you created the issue earlier with the same request here:https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/onlyoffice-liferay/issues/36

We can confirm that there’s the issue with Liferay.
