The one thing I never understood was why the UI behind the /api/jsonws is publicly viewable. I mean, there's lots of arguments for it to be secured: Exposing all of your web service APIs exposes attack vectors to hackers. Security by obscurity is often one of the best and easiest form of security that you can have1. Just because users may have permission to do...

Every now and then, there comes a time in a CMS developer's life when the sin of taking default settings for granted takes its toll.    There.

When a new intern onboards in the LAX office, their first step is to build Liferay from source. As a side-effect of that, usually the person that handles the intern onboarding will see that the reported ant all time is in hours rather than in minutes, and then start asking people, "Is it normal for it take this long to build Liferay for the first time?" It happens frequently...

The foundation of that blog post was my Fronting Liferay Tomcat with Apache HTTPd post and added terminating SSL at HTTPd and configuring the Liferay instance running under Tomcat to use HTTPS for all of the communication. If you tear into the second post, you'll find that I was using the AJP connector to...

In case you aren't aware, Liferay 7 CE and Liferay DXP default to using Hikari CP for the connection pools. Why?  Well here's a pretty good reason: Hikari just kicks the pants of any other connection pool implementation. So Liferay is using Hikari CP, and you should too. I know what you're thinking.  It's something along the lines of: But Dave, we're...
