In addition, these archetypes enable developers to optionally enable OSGi+CDI Integration.

I had thought that I would stop with 4 parts to my series of posts about DXP Cloud, but it was recently requested that I talk about backing up DXP Cloud environments. I will start with a caveat: the process to backup DXP Cloud's UAT and DEV environments are not supported. It is on the DXPC team's roadmap, but not currently available. This process was originally tested and documented for...

Introduction As of yet, there has been no official word that JDK 11 is supported by the Liferay developer tools. Just like the old delays going from JDK 7 to JDK 8, various third party tools and libraries held up the switch to JDK 11. Up until now, some developers had luck using JDK 11, but there were lingering issues with some tools such as Service Builder which could get in the way. In...

Liferay is pleased to announce the release of the Cross-Cluster Replication (CCR) module for Liferay Enterprise Search subscribers. In short, the CCR module replicates Liferay DXP's search engine cluster across data centers. This is a feature request that Liferay often hears from customers, but was not previously possible because unlike Liferay DXP clusters, all the nodes in an...

You've just written some custom implementation for a Liferay Service but your implementation is not picked from inside of the bundle that should use it despite the higher service ranking. @Component( immediate = true, property = { "service.ranking:Integer=100" }, service = AssetPublisherHelper.class ) public class...

What is the Mega-Jar? So the Liferay Dev Tools team recently included a new feature that they refer to as a "fat" jar, but I'm giving it the name Mega-Jar! This is a new single dependency that you can use in your Maven pom.xmls and Gradle build.gradle files, replacing all of the atomic dependencies with a single "one Mega-Jar to rule them all" dependency. So basically your...

Check spanish version here A few weeks ago we had the need to set a specific time for sending an email with the new content generated in a asset publisher through the subscription functionality. This led us to investigate whether it was feasible to carry out this modification in a simple way. What is running and how? The first step was to access the Liferay...

Hace unas semanas surgió la necesidad de poder establecer una hora fija y concreta en la que se enviase un correo con los nuevos contenidos generados en un publicador de contenidos mediante la funcionalidad de suscripciones. Esto nos llevó a indagar si era viable realizar esta modificación de una manera sencilla. Qué se ejecuta y cómo El primer paso fue acceder a la...

I guess we'll call this Part 4 in my series on doing stuff with Docker and DXP Cloud. DXP Cloud offers a full DevOps lifecycle, but having to go through that process for every small change can be very inefficient and tedious. Every code change that gets pushed up to the GitHub repos will need to go through Jenkins CI, and then manually be deployed to the environment. A possible...

About a year ago, Liferay introduced a new program that I have been actively participating in, Liferay Developer Services. But what is this program? Liferay Support When you are a Liferay DXP customer, you automatically get access to Liferay Support as part of the Subscription Services. Support is staffed by a great bunch of people that want to help clients resolve product-level issues....

This could be considered Part 3 of "Dockerizing a Liferay Bundle" but has very little to do with Docker, with the exception that DXP Cloud uses Docker images. I split this in to a separate section because not everyone is interested in DXP Cloud. This will focus more on converting a Liferay DXP instance using a Docker image to DXP Cloud. These steps will work as well for taking a...

By default when session timeout occurs, Liferay will redirect to home page. In case we need to redirect to custom url we can do that by implementing SSO interface as below : 1. Create an OSGi module and place a new Java class into a package in its src folder. 2. In the @Component annotation, add service=SSO.class and implement SSO Interface as below...

El año 2020 va a pasar a la historia por ser el año del confinamiento, de las restricciones de movilidad, de mantener las distancias sociales. Mantener distancia física en nuestras relaciones sociales para cuidarnos y tener a salvo a nuestra familia y nuestros seres queridos es prioritario. Pero eso no impide que dejemos de relacionarnos, sólo lo hacemos de una forma distinta, y eso...
