How to get global (company) group id in Liferay?

Question

How to get the global (company) group id in Liferay without accessing ThemeDisplay?

P.S.: with ThemeDisplay it is simple: themeDisplay.ge

Answer 1

Extending yellow's answer, you can find the company if you know some value of the Portal Instance (Company):

1. If you know the webId of the Portal Instance, can find company by:

   String webId = "liferay.com"; // PropsUtil.get(PropsKeys.COMPANY_DEFAULT_WEB_ID)
   Company company = CompanyLocalServiceUtil.getCompanyByWebId(webId);
   long globalGroupId = company.getGroup().getGroupId();
   

2. If you know the mail-domain of the Portal Instance, can find company by:

   String mailDomain = "liferay.com";
   Company company = CompanyLocalServiceUtil.getCompanyByMx(mailDomain);
   long globalGroupId = company.getGroup().getGroupId();
   

3. If you know the virtual host of the Portal Instance, can find company by:

   String virtualHost = "localhost";
   Company company = CompanyLocalServiceUtil.getCompanyByVirtualHost(virtualHost);
   long globalGroupId = company.getGroup().getGroupId();
   

_{There are also other useful methods available to explore in CompanyLocalServiceUtil, for those who are interested.}

Thanks Yellow for the lead, it was really helpful.
