Wouldn't that be a hoot? But how do we do that? Simple, we use AOP (Apsect Oriented Programming). Ok, you tried that but couldn't make it work with Liferay. Well, that's what this particular post...

Perhaps as a secondary title I should put: "Why is every Liferay plugin writtin in plain old JSP?". There is a very big trend toward wanting to build portlets using some form of fancy framework. It...

When Brian Chan first started working on Liferay in 2000, one of the immediate goals was to use Liferay to build a public website for his church. Of course, as a portal-based website, it would have...
