Introduction to Liferay Enterprise Portal

This session provides an overview of Liferay Enterprise Portal – a mature, stable, open-source portal server with a growing user base, integrated content management, and a large set of off-the-shelf portlets for everything from content management to polls, forums, news readers, and more.

As web application development evolves, developers are constantly looking for better ways to build web applications. Portals provide basic web application infrastructure, such as sophisticated role-based security, personalization, and content management. With the web application infrastructure in place, developers can concentrate on building application components, or portlets, that can be personalized for individual portal users. This session provides an overview of Liferay Enterprise Portal – a mature, stable, open-source portal server with a growing user base, integrated content management, and a large set of off-the-shelf portlets for everything from content management to polls, forums, news readers, and more. The server is built using familiar technologies, such as Struts, Tiles, and Spring. Portlets can be developed using either JavaServer Faces, Struts, or the basic Java Portlet API (JSR-168).
