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...

Julio Camarero | Feb 19, 2009 6:05 PM

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,...
