How can I disable SennaJS/SPA in Liferay 7?

Liferay 7 uses SennaJS as its Single Page Application engine in order to load and replace certain parts of the portal page during form submission and navigation. Occasionally this feature interferes with my use case, so how can I disable it?

If you want to disable the XHR GET navigation performed by SennaJS or its handling of form submissions, you can try one of the following:

  • If you want to disable SPA for only certain forms or links, you can add the data-senna-off="true" attribute to those <form> or <a> tags.

  • If you want to disable SPA for only one portlet, you can add <single-page-application>false</single-page-application> to the <portlet> section of your liferay-portlet.xml (see the DTD for the expected order of liferay-portlet.xml elements).

  • If you want to disable SPA for only one OSGi module portlet, you can add "com.liferay.portlet.single-page-application=false" to your portlet metadata.

  • If you want to disable SPA on a portal wide basis, you can add javascript.single.page.application.enabled=false to your portal-ext.properties file.
