portlet

my intention is to process a ResourceRequest that serves a resource (A dinamically generated PDF). If something goes wrong generating this file, the whole portal with a failure message in the portlet should be rendered. Is it possible to forward a ResourceRequest to a request that renders the complete portal? I am also considering a redirect, but I will like to be able to pass some attributes/parameters along. I hope I explained my problem clear enough. Thank you. Related/Duplicate: How to make the ResourceResponse to forward the request to error page in liferay portlet Example This is an

I am curious if anyone knows if it is possible for a single portlet to contain multiple pages, let's say JSP pages. Furthermore is it possible to link to these different pages within the same portlet? For example. Let's say I have a single portlet. And in this portlet I want the initial view to be a JSP page with just 5 links on it to 5 different JSP pages. And when a user clicked on one of these 5 links, it would load the appropriate JSP page into the portlet. The end goal would basically be a little mini website all contained inside a portlet. Now, I understand that this might not be the

I have at the welcome page a weather portlet, and user can configure the portlet and select his city. Is it possible to store user information in the portlet preferences, so that every user has his one stored city? Or what is the standard workflow to store user-portlet information without to develop own (persist) service? thx The portlet-preferences are in liferay per default not user specific. That can be modified in liferay-portlet.xml with next lines: <liferay-portlet-app> <portlet> <portlet-name>ThePortletWitchUserSpecificPreferences</portlet-name> <icon>/icon.png</icon> <preferences

I'm currently using IBM Rational Application Development (IBM Eclipse distro) for Portlet development and having a small issue with Maven integration. Here's the situation: 1) IBM RAD has the ability to deploy a Portlet directly from within itself (RUN/DEBUG) In this case, I'm not using Maven generated WAR at all because IBM RAD seems to create the WAR themselves automagically and push it to IBM WebSphere Portal. Which isn't a big deal so far. 2) Maven dependencies are not copied to WebContent/WEB-INF/lib directory IBM has its own directory structure: WebContent/WEB-INF and WebContent/META-INF

I need some utility classes that will be common for three different Liferay portlets so I will develop them in one project that should be shared for my portlets. I am using Eclipse with Liferay IDE plugin and my question is what kind of project is that one that I need? I mean is it a simple Java project or any kind of Liferay project? There are ways you can do this: Create a simple Java project. Package it as a JAR file. Put the JAR file in global class-path In case of tomcat the global class-path would be ../tomcat-7.0.27/lib/ext/ . Create a simple Java project. Package it as a JAR file. Put

Using jQuery UI, how can I use a Splitter kind of feature like the one at http://methvin.com/splitter/3csplitter.html ? I am asking this as I need 2 things to be implemented on my page; Portlet (Draggable) :: http://jqueryui.com/sortable/#portlets and Vertical Splitter :: http://methvin.com/splitter/3csplitter.html I am not sure how good coding practice it is if I am including 2 separate libraries (even though both are jQuery based); like http://host.sonspring.com/portlets/ for Portlets and http://methvin.com/splitter/3csplitter.html for Splitter Here is an example on how to create the
