Liferay Portlet which will tell if the liferay server is up and running

Question

My company is running many applications and one of them is liferay portal. The liferay portlet consists of many plugins(portlets, themes, hooks).

Now I have to develop an application, which will show the status of liferay-server. whether it is up and running? and what all portlets are deployed in it.

We are using Liferay with tomcat server

is there any way in liferay to determine what all custom-portlets are deployed in it?

Answer 1

You cat get a list of all portlets:

PortletLocalServiceUtil.getPortlets();

And for watching the state of liferay-server is useful to develop a small portlet with web service interface.
