With the upcoming release of Jakarta and new application server versions, Liferay is focused on becoming a full feature enterprise platform. Supporting Java 17 prevents usage of Java 21 features that will improve performance and reduce cloud costs. We are marking Java 17 for deprecation as we plan to fully focus on Java 21 in 2026.

This feature aims to enable all fields of an object to be localizable and displayed according to the user's chosen locale settings.

Key Benefits:

• The localization feature will support all existing locales in the system

• Custom Object entries and Modifiable System Objects entries

• Localization settings are now managed at the individual field level

This feature provides a way for customers to consume object validations and manage the experience for end users as they require.

Key Benefits:

• In multi-step forms, end user data can be validated in each step without persisting the data

Data from third party systems can now be managed in DXP through the use of Proxy Objects. Customers can now rely on a transversal OAuth 2 with proper SSO implementation to display data in DXP with the use of Liferay’s low code frontend application building capabilities.

Important: Because the data does not persist in Liferay’s database, some limitations are placed on proxy objects. Learn more.
