In Vaadin 7.2, server push support was introduced but only for servlet deployments. The initial plan was to add support for portlets "right after that release". That's not exactly what happened but...

LRNAS2015 was everything I hoped it would be. Every session was packed with demos of upcoming 7.0 features that left anyone using 6.2 very grateful (I was) that they weren't on an even older...

By now, we've heard of the necessity of creating a good experience for our mobile viewers. Yet, we're not always quite sure where to start or what factors should be considered in the process. As a...

You may recall back in February 2014 I published a FreeMarker script that would dump variables from WCM and ADT Templates in Liferay 6.2. Well, it's back, this time for Liferay 7! I tweaked it a...

Why do people go to the Liferay Symposium? This is a common question that has been asked countless times. Of course, if you ask someone at Liferay, our answers might be a little biased... But in...

Service Builder is the way how developers are often encouraged to do DB connectivity with Liferay portlets. It is, though, by no means the one and only way how one can connect to databases from...

Another Devcon "private" session - I missed his presentations, but got the summary right when he was done: Ray Augé took the time to answer all sorts of questions about the Modularization in...

Vaadin portlets initialise using JS and XHRs, typically a couple of milliseconds later than basic html markup based portlets. This approach may cause “flickering”, which may be a bit disturbing if...

What a coincidence (or maybe not...) that Doc and Marty landed in the future on October 21, 2015, the date of the Liferay Spain Symposium. Maybe we didn’t see any overboards or self-tying shoes,...
