Liferay enjoyed a great JavaOne this year, our third corporate appearance at the ground zero of the Java development world.  The emphasis this year was on openness, community, and the individual, reflecting the transformation our industry and culture have gone through over the last decade. In IT, that's been reflected in a shift from proprietary solutions controlled by the few to...

If you are or you have tried installing a Liferay on a cluster of Ubuntu machines and are/were having problems with the ehCache, do this check:]$ ping `hostname`If it responds using an address on the loopback device, there's your problem.By default, Ubuntu defines the machine's hostname on the loopback address (127.0.1.1), and since ehCache...

Here we are relaxing at Chevy's after a long long day at JavaOne. The guys wearing blue jerseys are from Liferay and the rest are from the Sun team. It was a great time of enjoying good food, brainstorming ideas, and learning from each other.

If you've been following what we're been doing here at Liferay, you'll notice a lot of collaboration with Sun this past year. So now it's time that we make this public. But before I get to that, I want to thank the Liferay community. And if you're reading this, that means you. What am I thankful for? Well. It's simple. We're not alone. Even though Liferay, Inc. has grown as an...

似乎总能听到liferay性能的抱怨， 在一个开源软件中这其实不难理解，就想一台公用的电脑，有人用oracle就在上面装个oracle，有人用DB2就又装了一个DB2…… 这些服务都启动自然就会慢。我们要做的就是停掉一些用不到的功能和方便开发人员debug的一些选项。 启动速度相关参数：在不需要自动创建数据库结构的时候可以停掉此项： #  # Set this to true to automatically create tables and populate with default  # data if the database is empty.  #  schema.run.enabled=false ...

Currently, the WebForm portlet it quite simple. But it was designed to be as simple as possible. Now we have chances to improve it a bit. After the development of the expandos (thanks Ray) the task of storing data with a variable model in a database is much more simple (incredible simple, I must say). You just need to create a table and iterate over the specified fields to add...

Wouldn't it be nice to deploy a portlet to Liferay and have it work as an application in Facebook? Check out our message boards at http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/forums Go to the bottom and click "Add to Facebook". We've configured our public message boards to write its output as FBML when consumed by Facebook. Check it out. Every portlet in Liferay is...

This is a new feature I've been wanting to blog about for a while. It was inspired by a request from a customer who wanted to be able to store the different configurations of web forms and be able to later reuse them. For example, at some point there could be a form for "Contact Us", another for "Request for detailed information", another for "Inscription for event X", etc. Not all of...

After seeing all the blog activity on Liferay.com as of late, I was looking for something to really reach out and inspire me to write an entry as well. Well, today a fellow froworker (friend and coworker) emailed me the following link to a MySQL blog: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2008/04/30/can-having-information-public-hurt-consulting-business/ Within the blog entry, a...

I was introduced to WebDAV the other day, and I thought it would be great to use my first blog post to tell other people about it also.What is WebDAV?Think of it as a way to upload, download, and edit files located in your document library and image gallery from the convenience of your desktop.How to get started.For this tutorial, I'll be using Liferay 5.0.1 on Windows XP. There are...
