  LPS-25991	It is not possible to display structured web-content in third-party portlet.
  LPS-32709	Enhance the importing of third-party content into Blogs and Web Content Portlet
  LPS-53821	As a third party developer I want to include custom views to select elements integrated with document selector
  LPS-23638	It's not possible to publish expired web contents via Web Content Display portlet

We implementing own portlet - this portlet shoudl display web-content by specified articleId.
So, to do it we are using followed code:

<%
JournalArticleDisplay articleDisplay = JournalContentUtil.getDisplay(themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId(), String.valueOf(articleId), null, themeDisplay.getLanguageId(), themeDisplay);
%>

<%= displayArticle == null ? StringPool.BLANK : displayArticle.getContent() %>

this works fine for normal articles - but in case we are trying to display template driven article - we always got null from getDisplay method.

Problem in com.liferay.portal.kernel.templateparser.BaseTransformer class - in method transform it creates templateParser (actually com.liferay.portlet.journal.util.VelocityTemplateParser) with using current thread classloader - which is plugins classloader - and failed (since this class is from portal-impl and not available fro plugins).

To fix this bug we need to use portal's classloader and change code in lines starting from 143 to:

if (Validator.isNotNull(templateParserClassName)) {
TemplateParser templateParser = null;
// Fix for LPS-25992
ClassLoader classLoader =
PortalClassLoaderUtil.getClassLoader();

try

{ templateParser = (TemplateParser)InstanceFactory.newInstance(classLoader, templateParserClassName); }

catch (Exception e)

{ throw new TransformException(e); }
