Java

David George — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:08:29 +0000

I have been working using Java since 1995 when I downloaded release 0.89a. I've used all Java versions to Java 5.0 and have worked on a number of new technology projects using the language. In 1998 I worked on an 18 month project developing a configuration management tool for a major telecommunications company. For this project I developed an Object Relational Mapper called Cobra. This tool enabled developers to access Java objects over local or an RMI interface and could automatically generate…

Faceted Search with Lucene

David George — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 20:01:39 +0000

For a new project I wanted to have a look at Faceted navigation but first of all, just what is a Facet? Well this is what Wikipedia has to say: Faceted search, also called faceted navigation or faceted browsing, is a technique for accessing a collection of information represented using a faceted classification, allowing users to explore by filtering available information. A faceted classification system allows the assignment of multiple classifications to an object, enabling the classification…

Liferay Portal - added loggin information

David George — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:13:42 +0000

Liferay is an enterprise portal written in Java now in its 6th version. It adheres to the Java Portlets definition (JSR 168 and JSR 286). A portlet is a unit of functionality, essentially a webapp (Web Application) that confirms to a standard. A Portal can assemble these portlets to build a complete web application. A portlet could provide calendar, forum, blog or CMS functionality. It is effectively a Meta CMS (Content Management System). Liferay comes bundled with a number of portlets. These c…

Advanced Searching with Liferay and Lucene/Solr - created

David George — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 15:14:04 +0000

Liferay's Search Engine set-up leads something to be desired when it comes to search for objects such as Users. The default schema uses a STRING type for fields. String let you order search results but have a number of limitations including applying filters and analyzers. One example is for an internationalized site where usernames may have accent characters. We generally want to treat é, ë etc as the same as 'e' for searching. Ok so we can change the schema to use a TEXT field but then we can't…

Using the Liferay Search Container Programatically - added formatting

David George — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 11:43:54 +0000

The Liferay Search Container Taglibs make paging through data a breeze but what if you have some specfic requirements that don't fix the mould. An example would be displaying a “facebook” of all the users in the organisation formatted so that 4 pictures appear on each row? Well we don't have to use the taglibs we can get full control over the search formatting programmatically. In this example we'll use the Lucene/Solr interface for retrieving users.
