Thanks a lot, Amro, you do have good idea for migration. :-)

Hi Ashok,

There is another tool you can leverage in the Liferay portal: database migration.

You can use this tool (just one click and a few inputs) to migrate data from current database into any other database like Oracle 10g/11g, DB2, MySQL. MS SQL, etc.

Hope that it helps,

Thanks

Hi Tibi,

Do you use LDAP server integration?

Yes, the custom fields (expando) could be used in the LDAP user info mapping.

Thanks

Hi Mark,

You would be able to almost 100% personalize / customize JSR 286 portlets by using Liferay Portal framework.

Btw, WSRP portlet are ready too.

Thanks,

Hi Francis,

Hope that this chapter (Liferay Portal 6.1 Systems Development) could answer your questions.

Chapter 3, Generic MVC Portlets, first introduces how to develop a portlet project
with default templates. Then it addresses how to construct basic MVC portlets by
viewing the title and adding an action, and how to build advanced MVC portlets.
Finally, it discusses how to build and re-build services, how to bring portlets
into Control Panel, how to set security and permissions, dynamic query, and
custom SQL.

Thanks

Jonas Yuan

Hi Srikanth,

There is a plugin called youtube-portlet, where you can bring any Youtube video into the portal.

Meanwhile you can leverage CKEditor 3.x to publish your web content by using wysisyg-portlet.

Of course, you can bring youtube video into FCKeditor - replacing the flash plugin with youtube plugin. That is, you need to build a plugin called youtube and to provide

1) service - search youtube video

2) html tags and scripts - bring youtube embedded scripts into FCKEditor (HTML tags).

3) replace the flash button with youtube embedded scripts

Hope that it helps,

Thanks

Hi Kicha,

It is true that Auth 2.0 integration is almost ready. Just a few bugs are opening.

By the way, JIRA and SVN integration are available in the plugin: social-coding-portlet. You can use the same plugin for both EE and CE version.

The website www.liferay.com eats its own dog's food - the same plugin is in use.

Thanks

Hi Srikanth,

CKEditor 3.x got seamless integrated in the Liferay portal, where inserting links, flash, images are working well.

You may try the same,

Thanks

The Jasperreports engine 4.5 seamless integration in the Liferay portal would be good example.

Hi Jari,

You may refer to the section "Performance Tuning" at the chapter 11 of the the book
Liferay Portal 6 Enterprise Intranets

Thanks

Jonas Yuan

Performance tuning

As an infrastructure portal, the portal can support over 3300 concurrent users on a single server with mean login times under 0.5 a second and maximum throughput of 79+ logins per second. In collaboration and social networking scenarios, each physical server supports over 1300 concurrent users at an average transaction times of under 800 ms. Note that this benchmark was generated based on the application server: 2 x Intel Core 2 Quad E5430 2.66GHz CPU, 12MB L2 cache (8 cores total), 8GB memory, 2 x 146GB 10k RPM SCSI, CentOS 5.2 64-bit Linux.

The portal's CMS/WCM scales to beyond 150,000 concurrent users on a single Portal server with average transaction times under 50ms and 35% CPU utilization. Given sufficient database resources and efficient load balancing, the portal can scale linearly as one adds additional servers to a cluster. How do we achieve this? Here we list TEN golden rules:

• Adjust the server's thread pool and JDBC connection pool:. By default, the portal is configured for a maximum of 100 database connections. For Tomcat and JBoss, a good number is between 200 and 400 threads in the thread pool.

• Turn off unused servlet filters: Servlet filters dynamically intercept requests and transform them. The portal contains more than 20 servlet filters, so turn off the ones you aren't using.
