If you are running Liferay with Tomcat, you have most likely come across this annoying message upon startup: INFO: The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance... This is...

So we've been operational for a little over two months now and this is how we do it over here at the Liferay Dalian Office. First we work hard: Then we play hard: Want to join us? ...

So, in an attempt to add some stuff to my blog that I think people might enjoy, I am going to write an entry every Friday, called the Friday Funkfest. What is the Friday Funkfest, exactly? Well,...

One of the most controversial things we've done for version 4.3 was to switch all of the icons to using PNG icons. This wouldn't be so bad, as IE can render PNGs with index transparency just fine....

A couple of days ago I was humming along working happily when suddenly, doink! The power went out. It was a beautiful bright sunny day, and so I might not have noticed right away except that my new...

And now a brand new episode of Liferay Cribs... Just kidding. But this is a non-technical blog post. For the past year and a half, I feel very fortunate to have been working for Liferay, and I'm...

I recently had the realization that I was duplicating a certain set of code across multiple portlets. For those who know me, they will attest that my work motto is to work smart not hard. I hate...

One of the topics I've seen over and over on the forums is confusion over the configuration of Hot Deploy in Liferay. It can be complicated, and the default configuration is not a valid one if you...

One of the things I was looking forward to when starting with Liferay was the opportunity to work at home full time. I've worked at home in the past, but it was always on an ad-hoc basis, on days...

So a couple of weeks ago, Ivan and I were trying to figure out how he could let his friend hit his Liferay tomcat without having to set up a demo server or using adobe acrobat connect. Basically,...

I recently got myself a nice new mono laser printer with duplexing capabilities. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a good deal on a simple mono laser printer that has duplexing built in?...

Remember the days of yore when the big annual college job fair came around? Hundreds of anxious students gather, holding a stack of resumes under left arm while keeping their right hand dry for...

Usually, my wife is the one who has to wait for me to get to bed while I work on bug fixes, packaging releases, or coding new features. Not this time though. It's past midnight and she's the one up...

4.3.4 is the latest stable and recommended production release from Liferay. Release Notes: http://support.liferay.com/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10014&styleName=Html&version=10250 SVN Tag:...

The nice thing about Liferay's drag and drop layout is that you (usually) don't have to remember any of the portlet ids. At least, until you do. If you skim through portal.properties, there's a set...

I figured out how to do this when I was testing the message board subscriptions and the web form portlet. Configure your ROOT.xml to look like this: <Resource ...

James Min | Nov 2, 2007 10:02 AM

A common question and topic when I do training or work on support cases, is, "What is the right way to do inter portlet communication in Liferay?" Well, there is no "right way" to do this. At least...

Imagine this: (remember this is just a re-enactment, names have been changed to ensure privacy) It is Friday night and you are heading over to the friend's house, let's call him... Ryan Cheung, to...

Richard Sezov | Oct 31, 2007 10:02 PM

While it's nice to blog about some of the tools I use (see the below posts on VirtualBox and the Lomboz plugin for Eclipse for more info), I figured I should probably mention some of the stuff I'm...
