Liferay StructureNameException when importing Lar file
Friday, November 2nd, 2018
Note: I’m no Liferay expert, in fact I’ve only been using it for a few days on a customers legacy system (Liferay 6.1.1) so YMMV.
The Problem
I was trying to import a “LAR” file (a compressed archive like a JAR which holds exported data/pages from a [different] Liferay instance). Problem was every time I tried the import I got a:
StructureNameException
This appears to have been caused by the fact that the exported files contained in the LAR were referring to locales that the importing server was not set-up to use:
<root available-locales="en_US,en_GB" default-locale="en_US">
(in this case my server was only set up to use en_US)
The Solution
In portal-ext.properties edit the following property to add the “missing” locales:
locales=en_US,en_GB

RAD “Invalid thread access” errors when accessing CVS
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
With its default settings, RAD 7.5 seems to be unable to remember CVS passwords. It also gives you a lot of “Invalid thread access” errors when accessing CVS.
To get around this, go to Window -> Preferences and then to General -> Security -> Secure Storage. Uncheck the “Windows Integration” checkbox.
You will now be prompted for a master password. From this point onwards, when you enter a CVS password and check “save password”, the password will be encrypted with the master password and RAD will properly remember it. Note that RAD will periodically prompt you for the master password, so make sure it’s something you can remember!
