Introduction One of the great advantages I have being known in the community is really the opportunity to meet, talk and work with talented developers and teams. Recently the team at ACSoftware announced in the Liferay Community Slack they were working on a new Liferay development tool, and I was fortunate enough to work with them on evaluation and testing. As it is just released, I...

When we generate some NPM modules from generator-liferay-js, you should see that the generated (.jar) module is a "bit heavy".  In the case of the React Liferay module it is not as much as the Angular Liferay module (posted here). However, let's say we want to work with a few modules of this type and instance them on one page. This could cause some problems: 1. Loss of...

Introduction So recently a couple of times I've seen folks ask how to send form data somewhere. Some want to trigger remote web service calls, some want to store the data in a different entity or database, etc. The common answer I give is to use a Tee storage type to persist in Liferay while using as you need, and this is sometimes followed by "um, what was that?" ;-) So I figured it was...

Introduction Let me start by saying that I'm a huge fan of Upgrade Processes. I've actually written many blogs about Upgrade Processes or using Upgrade Processes: https://liferay.dev/blogs/-/blogs/old-versus-new https://liferay.dev/blogs/-/blogs/thinking-outside-of-the-box-resources-importer https://liferay.dev/blogs/-/blogs/servicebuilder-and-upgrade-processes ...

DISCLAIMER: This blog  post has Spanish and English version. Cuando generamos algunos módulos NPM a partir de generator-liferay-js, deberías ver que el módulo (.jar) generado es un "poco pesado". En el caso del módulo Angular Liferay tiene más o menos 20 MB. Ahora, imagina que queremos trabajar con varios módulos de este tipo e instanciarlos más de...

Since 2019 January, Liferay provides us a handy tool to build RESTful services and GraphQL services: the Liferay REST Builder.

When you use Liferay REST Builder, the official documentation on Help Center is of...

TLDR; I built a Yeoman generator to adapt Elm apps for Liferay using Liferay JS Toolkit. Introduction A year ago, I came across Elm and it instantly became my favorite language to develop frontend applications. Quickly after playing with it, I wanted to be able to create Elm apps and deploy them to Liferay. I could have simply created an MVC Portlet and add my Elm app in the...

I had thought that I would stop with 4 parts to my series of posts about DXP Cloud, but it was recently requested that I talk about backing up DXP Cloud environments. I will start with a caveat: the process to backup DXP Cloud's UAT and DEV environments are not supported. It is on the DXPC team's roadmap, but not currently available. This process was originally tested and documented for...

Introduction As of yet, there has been no official word that JDK 11 is supported by the Liferay developer tools. Just like the old delays going from JDK 7 to JDK 8, various third party tools and libraries held up the switch to JDK 11. Up until now, some developers had luck using JDK 11, but there were lingering issues with some tools such as Service Builder which could get in the way. In...

Liferay is pleased to announce the release of the Cross-Cluster Replication (CCR) module for Liferay Enterprise Search subscribers. In short, the CCR module replicates Liferay DXP's search engine cluster across data centers. This is a feature request that Liferay often hears from customers, but was not previously possible because unlike Liferay DXP clusters, all the nodes in an...
