Setting up Liferay

There are several ways in which an application can be set up within Liferay, the first one being to simply go to Liferay and download the pre-bundled liferay tomcat bundle (other app server bundles are also available but experiences indicate that other ones might be trickier to begin with as the configuration is usually more lengthy), however, this option is not ideal if the user already have an existing tomcat server.

If the user already has a tomcat server on hand and does not particularly feel like deploying another one, the second option would be to download "liferay war". Typically, Liferay's installation removes the ROOT folder from the server, to avoid this situation, please stick to the following steps closely.

  • Download the non-bundled liferay war (Liferay Portal Professional 4.2.1 WAR) from Liferay
  • Download the additional file called Liferay Portal 4.2.1 Dependencies, and unzip it to shared/lib
  • In order to keep the ROOT folder, extract the contents of the war into a folder, call it 'myportal' for instance.
  • Under the WEB-INF folder, create a 'classes' folder, in this folder create a file called 'portal-ext.properties', and in this file place the following (note that users may of course change the portal.ctx and/or the lucene and jackrabbit directory depending on later configurations):
portal.release=professional
portal.ctx=/myportal
auto.deploy.dest.dir=../webapps
portal.instances=1
lucene.dir=C:/home/liferay/lucene
jcr.jackrabbit.repository.root=C:/home/liferay/jackrabbit
omniadmin.users=
  • Go back to the WEB-INF folder and edit the web.xml - change the root_path to have a param value of '/myportal', so that the top of the web.xml will look as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4">
	<context-param>
		<param-name>company_id</param-name>
		<param-value>liferay.com</param-value>
	</context-param>
	<context-param>
		<param-name>root_path</param-name>
		<param-value>/myportal</param-value>
	</context-param>
	<filter>
		<filter-name>Auto Login Filter</filter-name>
		<filter-class>com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.autologin.AutoLoginFilter</filter-class>
	</filter>
.
.
.
  • Now go into the META-INF folder and add a file called 'context.xml' and add the following (configure this according to own specifics, just make sure that the context path attribute is '/myportal', if the user does not use mysql database and wants liferay to use hSQLdb, strip out the first Resource element):
<Context path="/myportal" reloadable="true" >
    <Resource
        name="jdbc/LiferayPool"
        auth="Container"
        type="javax.sql.DataSource"
        driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
	  url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/lportal?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=UTF-8"
        username="liferay"
        password="yarefil"
        maxActive="100"
        maxIdle="30"
        maxWait="10000"
    />
    <Resource
                name="mail/MailSession"
                auth="Container"
                type="javax.mail.Session"
                mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
                mail.smtp.host="localhost"
    />
    <Realm 
                className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASRealm"
                appName="PortalRealm"
                userClassNames="com.liferay.portal.security.jaas.PortalPrincipal"
                roleClassNames="com.liferay.portal.security.jaas.PortalRole"
                debug="99"
                useContextClassLoader="false"
    />
</Context>
  • Now for the real trick, liferay 4.2 has a small bug when changing the context to something other than the ROOT. In the folder html/portal, find a file called load_render_portlet.jsp, open the file up and go to line 55-56 and it should look like the following:
	function <%= namespace %>loadPortlet() {
		var path = "/c/portal/render_portlet";

however it should look as follows: 

	function <%= namespace %>loadPortlet() {
		var path = "/myportal/c/portal/render_portlet";


  • If the user wishes to use mySQL, modify the context.xml to the user's own configurations, the user will also need to download the liferay-mysql script file and run it against the user's database.
  • Now, in the ROOT folder (i.e. C:\ for windows, / for UNIX/LINUX), create a 'home' folder (if it doesn't already exist) and in that folder, create a 'liferay' folder. Make sure tomcat has permission to modify the folder.
  • Now, re zip the folder and rename the zip file to myportal.war, drop it into tomcat's webapps deploy directory and (hopefully) a working liferay portal will appear.

Deploying a ZK portlet

Here, this guide assumes that users are familiar with and have created a ZK war.

  • First, in order to tell liferay about the portlet, create a class that looks like this:

public class JSPPortlet extends GenericPortlet {

		viewJSP = getInitParameter("view-jsp");
	}

	public void doDispatch(RenderRequest req, RenderResponse res)
		throws IOException, PortletException {

		String jspPage = req.getParameter("jspPage");

		if (jspPage != null) {
			include(jspPage, req, res);

		}
	}

	protected String editJSP;
	protected String helpJSP;
	protected String viewJSP;

	private static Log _log = LogFactory.getLog(JSPPortlet.class);

}
  • Next, create a 'liferay-display.xml' file that looks like the following in WEB-INF:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE display PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Display 4.0.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-display_4_0_0.dtd">

<display>
	<category name="category.test">
		<portlet id="portletone" />
	</category>
</display>
  • Now, also in the WEB-INF, create a file called 'liferay-portlet.xml' that looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE liferay-portlet-app PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Portlet Application 4.1.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-portlet-app_4_1_0.dtd">

<liferay-portlet-app>

		<role-name>administrator</role-name>
		<role-link>Administrator</role-link>
	</role-mapper>
	<role-mapper>
		<role-name>guest</role-name>
		<role-link>Guest</role-link>
	</role-mapper>
	<role-mapper>
		<role-name>power-user</role-name>
		<role-link>Power User</role-link>
	</role-mapper>
	<role-mapper>
		<role-name>user</role-name>
		<role-link>User</role-link>
	</role-mapper>
</liferay-portlet-app>
  • Liferay 5.2.* : Liferay 5.2 adds cache filters to users' web.xml when deployed on the liferay server. These, however, blocks the zk javascript (*.js) communication. To avoid this, add the property "speed-filters-enabled=false" in the liferay-plugin-package.properties file in the WEB-INF directory.


  • Now again in WEB-INF create a 'portlet.xml' file that looks as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<portlet-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd" version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd">
	<portlet>
		<portlet-name>portletone</portlet-name>
		<display-name>Sample JSP Portlet</display-name>
		<portlet-class>za.co.mypackage.JSPPortlet</portlet-class>
		<init-param>
			<name>view-jsp</name>
			<value>/view.zul</value>
		</init-param>
		<expiration-cache>0</expiration-cache>
		<supports>
			<mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
		</supports>
		<portlet-info>
			<title>Sample JSP Portlet</title>
			<short-title>Sample JSP Portlet</short-title>
			<keywords>Sample JSP Portlet</keywords>
		</portlet-info>
		<security-role-ref>
			<role-name>guest</role-name>
		</security-role-ref>
		<security-role-ref>
			<role-name>power-user</role-name>
		</security-role-ref>
		<security-role-ref>
			<role-name>user</role-name>
		</security-role-ref>
	</portlet>
</portlet-app>
  • Note that the /view.zul reference in this file is the 'index' file of the portlet, and all these files have been referenced as 'portletone', please change this as the name of the war file.
  • Finally, at the top of the web.xml file after <web-app> add the following (followed by the typical ZK stuff):
.
.
.
	<display-name>sample-jsp-portlet</display-name>
	<context-param>
		<param-name>company_id</param-name>
		<param-value>liferay.com</param-value>
	</context-param>
	<listener>
		<listener-class>com.liferay.portal.kernel.servlet.PortletContextListener</listener-class>
	</listener>
.
.
.

Notice that company_id is left as liferay.com.This is because changing the value would also mean digging around the liferay database and it would be hard to find all the places to modify the values.

  • Deploy the resulting war into /home/liferay/deploy directory,
  • Access and sign in to the user's portal, click on 'Add Content' link, under the category 'Test' add 'Sample JSP Portlet'.


Running ZK 5 with Liferay 5.2

Version: Liferay: 5.2.1 and ZK 5


Steps
1.Download Liferay-Tomcat bundle (this example uses liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.1)
2.Create a ZK 5 Project

3. Inside the WEB-INF folder, in order to run the ZK application, set up the following four xml files in Liferay.

In order to integrate Liferay with ZK, add the following settings to the portlet.xml setting:

  • <portlet-class>org.zkoss.zk.ui.http.DHtmlLayoutPortlet</portlet-class>
  • And create a zk_page called hello.zul
  • .hello.zul
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?page title="Hello"?>
<zk>
<window title="My First window" border="normal" width="200px">
	Hello, World!
	<button label="Hi" onClick='alert("Welcome")'/>
</window>
</zk>

4.Add library-property setting to zk.xml for Liferay

Reason: under IE, using Liferay with ZK will cause HTML Parsing Error (KB927917)
Solution: use jQueryPatch and set appropriate time delay value for browser.

  • zk.xml
<zk>
.
.
.
	<library-property>
		<name>org.zkoss.zk.portlet.PageRenderPatch.class</name>
		<value>org.zkoss.zkplus.liferay.JQueryRenderPatch</value>
	</library-property>
	<library-property>
		<name>org.zkoss.zkplus.liferary.jQueryPatch</name>
		<value>500</value>
	</library-property>
.
.
.
</zk>


5. Export war file
Export a war file called DEPLOY_TO__HelloZK.war, and put this war file under the deploy folder

Liferay deploys war files by its name, when the name DEPLOY_TO__HelloZK.war is used, liferay will deploy this war file to folder HelloZK


Download
DEPLOY_TO__HelloZK.war

Running ZK 5 with Liferay 6

Version: Liferay: 6.0+ and ZK 5

Steps

1. Download Liferay version bundled with Tomcat from Liferay

2. Create a ZK 5 Project

3. Inside the WEB-INF folder, in order to run ZK, users need to add four xml files to set up Liferay. JQueryRenderCachedPatch needs to be added to the zk.xml setting


The main difference between Liferay 5.2 and Liferay 6.0 is liferay-portlet.xml and zk.xml
