Implementing a Job Application Form

 By Phillipa Thomson

If you have ever been asked for a way to collect data from the user of your Liferay Portal, you almost always have to start a new software development project and as a result, it is a costly exercise. Such costs rise sharply when the online facility has to have multiple fields, multiple pages, file attachments, complex validation rules and dependencies (show/hide group of fields, depending on user selection).

Liferay MVC Portlet

During the render phase of the portlet lifecycle, the Liferay MVC Portlet also looks for a specific render parameter named jspPage.

The jspPage value should be a valid jsp page, including the path. ex. jspPage = “/html/showEditPublisher.jsp”
If jspPage is defined within the renderRequest, then the portlet will dispatch to the jspPage directly.

This means that if you're creating portlet whose sole purpose is to display data, you don't necessarily need to ever create a portlet class, the included com.liferay.util.bridges.mvc.MVCPortlet class provides all the portlet functionality you need and you're free to spend your time developing the view layer of your application.

Java standards portlet

WHAT IS A JAVA PORTLET?

• There are two JSR standards that govern portal/portlet behavior.
• JSR-168 is the Portlet 1.0 Specification.
• It was created out of a need to have a specification for displaying multiple applications on the same page.
• JSR-286 is the Portlet 2.0 Specification which retains backwards
• compatibility with 1.0 (JSR-168) portlets.
• Adds new features based on the experience of the different portal vendors.
• The portlet specification defines the life cycle of a portlet as well as its characteristics.

BENEFITS OF JAVA STANDARD PORTLETS

Core Architecture :

• The core architecture will be the same across Java Standard compliant portals.
• Portlets written to the standard will run on all compliant portlet containers.

Documentation :

• The Portlet Specification will not change, and you can reliably refer to it for information.
• Standard Portlet API for developers.
