Currently, Liferay has excellent Eclipse support with the Liferay IDE and Liferay Developer Studio. However, as of this writing, Liferay has no official NetBeans plugins or IDE. So what are you to do if you want to develop on Liferay in NetBeans? Well you can run Liferay from the terminal of course, but what if you want to debug your code or Liferay's code or both? Remote debugging is...

In this blog I will show an example on how we can integrate external applications/services inside your liferay portal. In my example I created 2 portlets that you can use to integrate amazon search inside your portal page. Portlet 1: "Amazon Search" Portlet 2: "Amazon result". If you want to run this demo  please follow the below steps: 1 -  create your...

At Liferay's North American Symposium, I announced the immediate availability of a new website we've developed specifically for those who use Liferay and write code on its platform. We call this site the Liferay Developer Network. This site is the new home for Liferay's documentation and, by the time it gets out of beta, Liferay's community pages. After receiving good feedback...

I got this question a lot, specially after the javascript frameworks start to show up in the enterprise applications, what is better, portlets or widgets? why? -The most obvious different between portlet and widgets is that portlets are a server side component model (designed to execute on the server) and Widgets are client side component models (designed to run in the browser...

There is a big difference between Liferay Platform, and any other framework/Web Application. In general, Developers can develop anything, but the question is how long it will take them to do that and how much you will spend on development, maintenance, support...also the quality of the code is not always guaranteed. With liferay, we make that work for our clients. we have...

During last Liferay North America symposium in Boston, I had the opportunity to attend to Máté's interesting presentation (Best Practices for Using Staging in Liferay 6.2). I have always been fascinated by this complex feature in Liferay and I have spent hours "struggling" with it in the past years while helping companies implementing and using it. Remote publishing has been...

Greetings from the Liferay Symposium. The event was  great and we have had many good discussions with new and old Vaadin fans over here. And this is no wonder, like you learned earlier Vaadin-based applications took double-win the Liferay Marketplace. Announcing the new Vaadin Liferay refcard The updated Vaadin-Liferay refcard is out. It covers the fundamental stuff you...

Sometimes, Tomcat is not enough to run Liferay- reasons may include performance, client's wish etc. So here are the steps on how to configure Liferay instance on tc server 2.6. Same steps can be followed for liferay version below 6.2, at least for 6.1 I have verified. We have D:\pFiles\LR\tc-instance\ directory where vFabric tc server is installed. And we...

On last entry I made a quick overview over the proposed solution for the "problem" of building an analytics platform within the Liferay platform. Along this entry I will go deeper into the log data structure, I will present the Apache Kakfa project and we will analyse how we can connect Liferay and Kafka each other. As a quickly reminder, I previously said that a log...

Yesterday I was talking at the Liferay North America symposium here in Boston about how you can get more value of all the data you already (even if you are not aware you already own it). It has been the first time I speak at the North America event so it has been really exciting for me (in addition, the put my talk on the big room :) To be honest I am not sure about how the talk...

Intro A lot of developers will probably know this feeling: you've just returned from a conference and seen lots of exciting new technologies and now you can't wait to try them out! For me one such moment and technology was Devoxx 2013 and seeing an AngularJS talk by Igor Minar and Misko Hevery. The speed and ease of development appealed very much to me, but I was a bit hesitant...

The Vaadin 7 Control Panel is a custom control panel designed to manage the shared Vaadin environment in Liferay. What is the shared Vaadin environment?  It is one of two modes1 for creating Vaadin portlets and refers to the shared Vaadin environment hosted within the ROOT Liferay web application (under Vaadin 6, the shared Vaadin environment was the only supported...

  Throughout history, knowledge and the ability to apply that knowledge to practical use has been of highest value to any organization. As one of the leading trainers on the Liferay Support Team, I have learned that there are certain people who will get the most out of one of my training sessions. These are the people that tend to improve at their jobs and have higher...

In a related development, I've recently heard from several of you recently that you'd missed some interesting news items that happened, and didn't know how best to...

Yesterday we visited the Rijksmuseum as a guest of KPN and 's Heerenloo. I was presented with their new and very special portal named JiP. JiP is a portal based on Liferay and has a customized interface to make it accessible via one button. Why an interface with one button?   To give the people with intellectual disabilities access to content, games and internet based on...
