Release Notes

This section contains information about breaking changes in out-of-the-box DXP features and capabilities. For breaking changes or internal code, please check this link.

What changed?

  • Users can filter Navigation Menus by creation or modification date.

  • API’s now allow retrieving navigation menus by External Reference Code, rather than only by internal IDs.

Why was this change made?

This change improves the reliability and usability of cross-site migration tools, enhances content governance with complete permission handling, and introduces stable referencing via ERCs.

Who is affected?

Developers and Site administrators requesting Navigation Menu’s via Api’s.

How should I update my features or implementation?

No changes are needed. Users may want to use External Reference Code when referencing navigation menus.

LPD-53248 - Export/Import the permissions associated with each of the navigation menus for GET request
LPD-53454 - Export/Import Permissions for Navigation Menus for PUT requests
LPD-53452 - Export/Import Permissions for Navigation Menus for POST requests

The Java EE libraries are no longer in active development. DXP has moved to the modern and evolving enterprise Java platform, Jakarta EE 10. With the migration of the system to Jakarta EE, any Java EE libraries (javax.*) are no longer compatible and must be replaced with the Jakarta EE 10 (jakarta.*) updated versions. This also breaks any 3rd party libraries that rely on Java EE packages. Libraries must be updated to a Jakarta-compatible version.

This affects any users with custom code deployed to the Liferay DXP JVM. Client Extensions are not affected since they run in an external process.

LPD-46462 - Provide Jakarta migration resources

With the migration of the system to Jakarta EE, the following deprecated application servers are no longer supported:

  1. Apache Tomcat 9.0.x

  2. JBoss EAP 7.4

  3. Wildfly 26.1

  4. Weblogic 14c

Users must migrate to a Jakarta EE compatible application server:

  1. Apache Tomcat 10.1.x

  2. JBoss EAP 8.0

  3. Wildfly 30

(Weblogic 15 has not been released, but we are monitoring its availability and plan to add support in a future DXP release).

This change gives users access to actively maintained application servers that leverage the modern Java enterprise ecosystem.

LPD-42980 - Jboss 8/Wildfly 30 Support

PortletMVC4Spring has migrated to a new version based on Spring 6.0 and Jakarta EE. Users must migrated their existing PortletMVC4Spring projects to version 6.x

The previous versions of PortletMVC4Spring were deprecated due to dependency on Java EE and will no longer work with 2025.Q3 release.

MVCS-77 - Upgrade to Jakarta EE 10 and Spring 6.2.2
