Calling Liferay Services from Standalone java

Vinutha Shreyas	:	Calling Liferay Services from Standalone java
		Hi,
		I am attempting to call a LiferayService from a Standalone java program.
		In calling the service I am trying to add a portal user
		The codes are as below
		The standalone java program is
		I have included all the Liferay related jars in my classpath.
		But still faced with the following error
		Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: UserLocalService is not set
		at com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil.getService(UserLocalServiceUtil.java:871)
		at com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil.addUser(UserLocalServiceUtil.java:143)
		Can someone suggest if I need to configure or enable this service in any of the Liferay related files.
		Appreciate for the help seeked.
Mazhar Anwar	:	Hi
		It is not possible to use Liferay Service in standalone java classes like this since there are many Spring and hibernate configurations.
		Possible option are
		1- Create a new web-application under the same server and you can call Liferay's global APIs (i.e classes in portal-service.jar and portal-kernal.jar)
		2- Write code to connect with Liferay Database via JDBC/Hibernate and perform all database operation.
		Regards,
Thiago Leão Moreira	:	Hi Vinutha,
		Use the portal-client.jar, it is a SOAP client to access your Liferay server.
		Hope this helps.
Vinutha Shreyas	:	I have tried through web-application and am able to do it successfully through portlets.
		But that is not my requirement. I need to call it through a standalone program for my application requirement.
		What I have given the code template in my previous post was a simple template for understanding purpose.
		Actually I am connecting to the Database through Hibernate.
		Any feedback would be appreciated.
		Thank you
Vinutha Shreyas	:	As there is a suggestion to use the poratl-client.jar, a SOAP based access layer,
		Can you give me a reference to the beginning point of the code to use SOAP as I am a newbie to SOAP.
		Thank you
