A feature I recently discovered was the ability to precompile all the JSPs in Liferay. The motivation behind this discovery was the need for sanity checking after making a small change to nearly a hundred JSPs across many different portlets. After using it on this particular problem, I wanted to know if it was possible to apply pre-compilation to a current ongoing project. In...

Social networks and portals are a natural fit. To that end we're currently doing work to integrate the brand new (still in incubation) Shindig project. Shindig is the Gadget and Opensocial reference implementation currently in incubation under the Apache Software Foundation and being worked on by Google, MySpace, Orkut, Salesforce.com, and many other large social networking sites....

In Liferay 5.0.0+ we have added a new feature: Announcements/Alerts. Announcements/Alerts are two portlets which can be used to broadcast some message to a list of users within a known scope. Essentially they provide a mass messaging engine you'd tend to think of as a "news letter" or one-way messaging. They provide the following features: Configurable, unlimited number...

In a previous post, it was suggested to me that I remove tunnel-web's dependency on JAAS.  What this would do is (1) circumvent issues with JAAS implementations in certain app servers (Tomcat's bugs and the lack of configuration in Glassfish) and (2) allow users to log in using the same login credentials they would use on the portal's signin page (normally, the email...

I read an interesting article today.  You should probably read it first to understand my thoughts but I’ll summarize since most of you aren’t gonna read it and it’s a bit long anyways…  It’s talking about the decision Microsoft has to make with IE8.  The problem is that IE7 and below are all bad browsers because by default they are in quirks mode (it means it...

We've wrapped up the second day of the Gartner Portals, Content and Collaboration conference here in Baltimore, where open source software was highlighted as one of the five "disruptive" forces in the technology market. Social computing topics dominated the conference, which makes sense because portals, content management and collaboration software  really do converge in...
