Upgrading Service Builder Service Invocation

When upgrading a portlet leveraging Service Builder, you must first decide if you’re building your Service Builder logic as a WAR or modularizing it.

Note: Service Builder portlets automatically migrated to Liferay Workspace using the Upgrade Planner or Blade CLI’s convert command automatically have its Service Builder logic converted to API and implementation modules. This is a best practice for Liferay DXP 7.0.

If you prefer keeping your Service Builder logic as a WAR, you must implement a service tracker to call services. See the Service Trackers article for more information.

If you’re optimizing your Service Builder logic to invoke Liferay services from a module, see the Invoking Local Services article for more information.
