Liferay development with Netbeans

Also my getting selected to the NetCAT 6.5 pushed me over the tip.

So I started developing portlets for liferay using Netbeans and then the latest version of portal pack was released with additional plugin for Web Synergy, which is Liferay running on Glassfish with MySQL DB customized with addons from Sun.

I downloaded it and found that it was based on a bit older version of Liferay. So I now wanted to use Liferay and also was tempted to use the WebSynergy support pack for Potal Pack.

Here is how I got it configured . . .

Note of caution: Don’t install and run WebSynergy and Liferay on the same system and default configuration they will conflict. Also don’t configure Liferay and Websynergy, both in Netbeans.

Prerequisites: Netbeans 6.5 beta or newer, Liferay Glassfish v3 bundle, Portal pack plugin and WebSynergy support addon.

1. In netbeans go to Tools > Servers and click Add Server in the Window that opens

2. Select Web Synergy Server as the type of Server

3. In the next dialog box add the information regarding where your liferay is setup and Password for your Glassfish Server

4. Next dialog you can accept without any changes and Click on Finish. That is it you are ready to develop for Liferay using Netbeans

Let us now see how can we create a new Portlet and run it on Liferay.

1. Create a new Java Web project

2. Select Liferay server as your server

3. Add Portlet Support and enable Create portlet and click on finish. This will automatically creae the first portlet for you!

4. To run the project just right click on the project and say Run. The liferay server will start and open the Liferay homepage in your configured browser.

To see your portlet in action, login Liferay with user – test@liferay.com and password – test. Next you can select Add application from the liferay menu and Add your portlet from the User Portlet caegory.

Have fun!!!
