Liferay Blacklist Configuration

 How to Remove a Bundle from the Blacklist in Liferay 7

Overview

This article will explain how to remove a bundle from the Liferay’s Blacklist with the settings in the Control Panel.

Preface

Liferay may add your bundle into a “black list” if you, for example, uninstall your bundle in the Apps Manager:

In this case any subsequent deploys will not actually deploy your bundle, and you’ll see something like this in logs:

2021-03-23 07:49:58.854 INFO  [com.liferay.portal.kernel.deploy.auto.AutoDeployScanner][AutoDeployDir:261] Processing journal.edit.article.hook-1.0.2.jar

2021-03-23 07:51:09.765 INFO  [fileinstall-/opt/liferay/osgi/modules][BundleBlacklist:188] Stopping blacklisted bundle journal.edit.article.hook_1.0.2 

To make your bundle available again - you need to remove it from the blacklist.

Configuration

To remove the bundle from the blacklist, you need:

1. Go to Control Panel -> Configuration -> System Settings;

2. Click on “Module Container” in “Platform” section:
   
   
   

3. Check if your bundle is there, remove it, and click “Update”:
   

This will remove your bundle from the blacklist.

But you may need to restart the Liferay to make the changes applied.
