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 bit to show the hierarchy of the request object a bit better and added a recursion depth variable to control how deep down the rabbit hole you go (if you are feeling a bit cold during winter,...

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 Liferay portlets. In many real world use cases, it is better to use standard JPA for ORM and access a DB that is separate from the DB used by Liferay for its internal stuff (such as user/role...

   Wow, 50 episodes already. At this year's Devcon I spoke with Jens Bruhn. He's Software Architect at Prodyna AG, a Liferay Partner and the author of Nabucco Script Center, a Liferay App available on the Marketplace.

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 there is other content below the Vaadin portlet, because the browser needs to re-flow the whole page after the Vaadin UI has decided how much space it actually needs in vertical direction. ...
