Portal Properties Prettier App

Turns a messy Liferay portal-*.properties into a clean and well organised portal-*.properties. Basically it does 6 things:

• Identify, group and comment properties that has the same values as the original portal.properties located at portal-impl.jar
• Identify, group and comment properties that are obsolete for the given Liferay version
• Identify, group and recommend a fix for properties that has typos in its key's declaration
• Group custom properties in a section in the beginning of the file
• Sort the properties in the same order as the original portal.properties
• Add the original comments for each property as definied in the portal.properties file

Online version

You can test it on http://portalproperti.es

Command line version

You can also call the service from command line using curl. If you don't provide a Liferay version it will use the default that is 7.0.4-ga5.

curl http://portalproperti.es/prettify -F portalPropertiesFile=@/path/to/portal-ext.properties

If you need to use a different Liferay version, for instance 6.1.0-ga1, you must use the following format

curl http://portalproperti.es/prettify/6.1.0-ga1 -F portalPropertiesFile=@/path/to/portal-ext.properties

Or if you need to print the original value of each customized property you must call the service this way

curl http://portalproperti.es/prettify/6.2.3-g4/true -F portalPropertiesFile=@/path/to/portal-ext.properties
