We, as software developers, usually need to reach our users through different channels: from web sites to applications running on smart devices (smartphones, smartwatches, ...) or even through IoT devices… and all those solutions, oriented to the different ways that nowadays the users can interact with our systems, share the same content and features. Even if we are just creating a...

Quite some time ago I was working with a client that had built web service clients as OSGi modules and leveraged JAXB. During load testing, we found that after many hours of heavy use, the Liferay nodes would stop serving traffic and, for all intents and purposes, would die.  Threads would get hung, blocked waiting to load a class from the web service client, and eventually...

When you drag&drop widgets on the page, you might expect a visual indicator for the possible drop zones (that depend on your page's layout): The necessary CSS...

What does the future hold for Spring Portlet MVC? Long live PortletMVC4Spring! It's my pleasure to announce the release of a new project sponsored by Liferay: PortletMVC4Spring. The PortletMVC4Spring project began as Spring Portlet MVC and was part of the Spring Framework. When the project was pruned from version 5.0.x of the Spring Framework under SPR-14129, it became necessary...

Since the dawn of time people have been collecting all sorts of things: comic books, video games, stamps, old currency and even rocks. However... times change and most of us are no longer interested in collecting minerals. Instead, we collect other people's personal information and opinions. With the coming of Liferay 7.0, Liferay has blessed us with a tool to do so. This blog post...

Over time, your Liferay database will be loaded with web contents, documents, images, etc. Users have come and gone, but their data remains....
