Creating Portlets using Java Server Faces 2 and Liferay
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011Portlets are a common technology to create plug&play components for modern web applications and are specified by the Java Community Process in several specification requests.
In the following tutorial we’re going to learn how to create custom portlets and how to deploy and embed them in Liferay, the popular open-source enterprise portal.
In addition we’re taking a look at inter-portlet-communication and how to create portlets using annotations.
Finally we’re building a portlet-state-aware Java-Server-Faces portlet using the jsf-portlet-bridge mechanism.
