portlet

In an interview today I mentioned that I had done some jsf work in a portlet. The interviewer asked for specifics on what the portlet-bridge does. I never looked into it all that much, just used it because I was told it would make jsf work in the portlet.

Use Spring MVC framework and call different method based on your business logic/user action in controller, Try below code in jsp <portlet

And how should I integrate them in the Eclipse IDE? Add an external jar or put them in one dedicated project and include them from there? Another solution would be to put them under ../liferay-portal-<version>/tomcat-<version>/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib If you place them here you can add the JAR as a dependency for your portlet in the portlets liferay-plugin-package.properties (if you're using Liferay Developer

I am using Liferay 6 for the Portal Development . By going through Liferay Developer Guide the author explains that there are Two phases of Portlet Execution Action Phase Render Phase public class DateTimePortlet extends GenericPortlet { public void doView(RenderRequest req, RenderResponse res) throws IOException, PortletException { Object actionAttribute = req.getAttribute("datetime"); res.getWriter().println("Date Time:" + (actionAttribute != null ? actionAttribute :"Unavailable")); res.getWriter().println("<BR/>"); PortletURL u = res.createActionURL(); res.getWriter().println("<A href=" + u
