Okay, this is probably going to be one of my shortest blog posts, but it's important. Some releases of Liferay have code to "infer" a portlet name if it is not specified in the component...

Every other year we have a company retreat where people from all over the world travel to California for a series of meetings and team building activities. This is a very unique opportunity for...

I'm taking a short hiatus from the design pattern series to cover a topic I've heard a lot of questions on lately - migrating 6.2 Service Builder wars to Liferay 7 CE / Liferay DXP. Basically it...

I am pleased to announce the Social Office to Liferay 7 upgrade has been released! Update 06/16/2017: For anyone interested in the tasks application, I have converted it to Liferay 7 modules. ...

David H Nebinger | Feb 8, 2017 2:10 PM

Recently I was lamenting how I felt that JSP fragment bundles could not introduce new dependencies and therefore the JSP overrides could really not do much more than reorganize or add/remove...

David H Nebinger | Feb 7, 2017 3:25 PM

One of the things that I never really used in 6.x was the Liferay upgrade APIs. Sure, I knew about the Release table and stuff, but it just seemed kind of cumbersome to not only to build out your...

David H Nebinger | Feb 7, 2017 12:33 AM

In Liferay 6.x, scheduled tasks were kind of easy to implement. I mean, you'd implement a class that implements the Liferay Message Bus's MessageListener interface and then add the details in the...

When you start reviewing Liferay 7 CE/Liferay DXP code, you run into a lot of annotations in a lot of different ways. They can all seem kind of overwhelming when you first happen upon them, so I...

Alt Title: Cool things you can do with OSGi Introduction So one thing that many organizations like to stand up in their Liferay environments is a "health check". The goal is to provide a simple...

Let me begin by clarifying that this post has nothing to do with the Harry Potter universe. But seriously. You know what I mean by wizards, don’t you? Those helpful series of screens that gather...

Jan Eerdekens | Jan 23, 2017 8:46 PM

I've been working with Liferay for quite some time now, but I must confess that I still haven't really made the switch from Velocity to Freemarker for my templates. Even though I know there are a...

So recently I was asked, "How can panels be removed from the My Account portlet?" It seems like such a deceptively simple question since it used to be a supported feature, but my response to the...

David H Nebinger | Dec 21, 2016 4:59 AM

Recently I was working on a fragment bundle for a JSP override to the message boards and I wanted to wrap the changes so they could be disabled by a configuration property. But the configuration is...

Once again: Devcon is over (actually, for quite a while now) and it's time to look back. If only because the Recap site is public. You can now watch the video recordings of presentations that...

So the Liferay workspace is pretty handy when it comes to building all of your OSGi modules, themes, layout templates and yes, even your legacy code from the plugins SDK. But, when it comes to...

Eduardo P. García | Dec 2, 2016 12:53 PM

One more year, it's been great to meet many of you at our events. This time I dedicated one of my workshops to the migration of 6.2 plugin projects to Liferay 7.0. I knew that some of you had...

Lauri Hiltunen | Nov 22, 2016 6:28 AM

Software should be modular. It has been a core thought of developers and architects for quite a long time. The microservices style of development and deployment is a thing now, and different...

Build Around MDX I cannot make the case to encourage you to write MDX. It's a complex query language, underutilized, supported by major vendors*, but after 20 years of existence still struggle to...
