I made a slight change to the login portlet that gives the user the option to create their own password, instead of always having a random password emailed to them at creation time. To enable this...

My stay in India was much more comfortable this time around than two years ago. Infrastructure is improving. My hotel was quite nice. In fact, it's as nice if not nicer than what I have at home. I...

When people say JVM tuning, most of the time they mean tuning GC. Before we start to tune JVM for Liferay Portal, let us talk about some basic conceptions of GC. As we all know jvm can handle...

It's a humbling reminder that Java, AJAX, and the latest Saturday Night Live skits aren't on Time's list of ten ideas changing the world right now. Sure, no one doubts that technology (and...

Alot of people seem to have problems deploying custom plugins to liferay. I admit that deployment can be a little tricky. First off, Liferay has a naming convention which is more than just a naming...

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...

This is not a blog, it is a microblog! I just came here to show this simple and very cool feature, at least for me, the dependency management on deployment time. A little of context: The dependency...

Everyone these days is thinking about the economy and how to hold on to their cash in what seems to be the worst downturn of the last 60 years. Open source vendors that had for the last 24 months...

As most readers will probably know, one of the most powerful characteristics of Liferay's portlets is the fact that when they are added to different communities or organizations (whenever I use the...

Hi there! As you may have already seen, the user/organization administration in Liferay 5.2 has been completely redesigned. The new interface is, in my opinion, clearer, nicer and much more usable,...

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...
