In order to deal with potentially tens of thousands of rows of data on the page, we need to lazy load or paginate both the fetching and rendering of data to ensure that our users get a smooth experience. If we also want to allow our users to sort and filter our data, we definitely have our work cut out for us. In this...

Answers can range anywhere from a quick pitch like "a tool that allows people to build their websites" to something more specific like "a framework for integrating information, people and processes across organizational boundaries."

Liferay comes with so many features that it's hard to judge when a feature is a good solution for a given problem. I'd like to shine some light onto some of these features and common misconceptions about them because it's easy to abuse them for purposes for which they're not well suited - despite making the impression they might.

One of Liferay's more commonly used extension points is the application startup event. You can define custom code to run whenever your plugin is deployed. This is a powerful feature.

Do you remember the article that I wrote in March? It talked about Liferay's limitation to have each overloaded JSP only customizable from one hook. The limitation was not enforced, so deploying multiple hooks that overload the same JSP lead to undefined behaviour, potentially deleting the original JSP.
