本文档详细介绍了如何在Liferay中创建并使用自定义类别，包括覆盖PortletCategoryKeys类、配置portlet到特定类别的步骤、设置角色权限、语言文件配置及资源权限设置等内容。

1. Override the class PortletCategoryKeys (in ext-impl\src\com\liferay\portal\util\PortletCategoryKeys.java)

package com.liferay.portal.util;
/**

 * @author apoorva.prakash

 *

 */

public class PortletCategoryKeys {

 public static final String CONTENT = "content";

 public static final String MY = "my";

 public static final String PORTAL = "portal";

 public static final String SERVER = "server";

 public static final String MYCATEGORY = "mycategory";

 public static final String[] ALL = {MY, CONTENT, MYCATEGORY , PORTAL, SERVER};
}

Put the category in ALL array in the order you wish to appear your category.

2. Now add portlet in this category using the following entry in liferay-portlet-ext.xml file

<portlet>

    <portlet-name>portlet_id</portlet-name>

 <control-panel-entry-category>mycategory</control-panel-entry-category>

 <control-panel-entry-weight>1</control-panel-entry-weight>

</portlet>

here portlet_id is the id of the portlet that you wish to add in our custom category. Specify the name of the category in <control-panel-entry-category> entry and sequence of portlet appearance in determined through <control-panel-entry-weight>. The higher the weight, upper will be the portlet(weight can also be in floating number).

3. In portlet.xml file, add role reference

<security-role-ref>
        <role-name>role-name</role-name>
</security-role-ref>

4. in liferay-portlet.xml add role mapper

<role-mapper>
    <role-name>role-name</role-name>
    <role-link>actual-role-name</role-link>
</role-mapper>

5. Now an important point, we must enter the category name entry in language-ext.properties file in ext-impl/src/content, so that our category can be recognized, otherwise you'll get category name as "category.mycategory"

category.mycategory=My New Category

That's all I did, hope will work for you too.

6. In resources/resource-actions/default.xml write permission

<supports>
 <action-key>ACCESS_IN_CONTROL_PANEL</action-key>
 <action-key>VIEW</action-key>
</supports>

7. point to this file in resources/portlet.properties

resource.actions.configs=resource-actions/default.xml
