Deploying liferay 7(Gradle) module to tomcat

Their are 2 option available to deploy liferay module.

Option 1:Configure gradle.properties file available in liferay workspace.

We need to set 2 properties in gradle.properties file

1. liferay.workspace.home.dir 
2. liferay.workspace.modules.default.repository.enabled

Set liferay.workspace.home.dir to your tomcat directory

• Example
• liferay.workspace.home.dir=D:\\LiferayDXP\\liferay-dxp-digital-enterprise-tomcat-7.0-ga1-20160617092557801\\liferay-dxp-digital-enterprise-7.0-ga1

Set liferay.workspace.modules.default.repository.enabled=true

• Now Open Eclipse IDE go to Windows--show view--click on Gradle Task.

• Gradle Task will list all your module.Select the module you want to build and deploy.
• Click build this will build jar of the selected module in libs folder located in , LiferayWorkspace--modules--(Selected Module)--build--libs in your local directory
• Click on deploy from gradle task this will place generated jar in deploy folder of tomcat (if you have configure above mention properties)

Option 2 

• If you dont want to set this path you can still build jar from gradle task,but you have to manually place generated jar in tomcat deploy directory.
