I got it all working with Liferay 5.3, but the SSO is not working, the web client portlet logs as guest

I tried to use CAS but I’ve read I need to make a filter

Can you help me out on this one plz? with or without CAS… anything…

liferay-display.xml,
liferay-plugin-package.xml,
liferay-portlet.xml,
liferay-display.xml
web.xml
and portlet.xml

and alfresco didn’t work anymore, it showed this error:
javax.faces.FacesException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.liferay.util.bridges.jsf.myfaces.MyFacesContextFactoryImpl
caused by:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.liferay.util.bridges.jsf.myfaces.MyFacesContextFactoryImpl

I don’t know if I followed the steps correctly, I mean I didn’t know how to re-package the WAR so I create a RAR archive and changed its extension, after that I copied it into
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\liferay\deploy
directory, is that correct????

I’ve tried this with Alfresco Lab3 and liferay 5.1.2 tomcat 5.5 bundle. It works fine as the instruction except for I can not upload file within the Alfresco portlet which I believe it an existing Alfresco 3 bug.

Good luck

I tried this with Alfresco Lab3 and Liferay 5.2.3. Everything is fine until I tried to deploy the alfresco.war to liferay. I got following error message:

com.liferay.portal.kernel.deploy.auto.AutoDeployException: alfresco.war does not support this version of Liferay

So the integration way won’t work for liferay 5.2.3? is there anything I could do to fix it? Has anybody tried this with liferay 5.2.3?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks & Regards,
Lalit

I tried integrating Alfresco 3.0 as portlet into Liferay 5.2.3 over JBoss 4.2.3AS using wiki article “http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deploying_2.1WAR_Liferay4.3″ which is same as steps mentioned here by Jeff.
But not able to get any luck at all.Liferay is working fine.When i am starting “http://localhost:8080/alfresco”,i can see Alfresco web client but not Alfresco as portlet into Liferay.

I even tried to download portlet from Liferay.com for Alfresco & deployed but no success here also.

Is these integrations are not valid for Liferay+JBoss Bundle?or Does Alfresco support only Web Client not Portlets.Do i have to go for some vendor to get Alfresco Portlet in Liferay?

Can anybody help me?I am stuck up here for 15 days.

Thanks,
Lalit.

I would like to integrate Liferay and Alfresco like you described above

“I’ve seen clients that have used both Journal and Alfresco. They use Journal for content that only makes sense in the context of the portal, and then they use Alfresco for their “Enterprise” repository, and surface that content to the portal through web scripts or Web Services.”

So I can choose wich type of content I store in the DB (Liferay) or in the Alfresco repository dependings on my needs.

So have you (all) any resource (links, articles, forum threads) where I can find how to do it?

Or can you give me any directionon how to do it?

Or it’s “just” use Alfresco Web Services in Liferay portlets?

I guess it depends on what you are doing. A lot of people struggle with the decision of whether to use Liferay’s built-in Journal CMS (Jackrabbit) or an alternative like Alfresco.

You have to think of things like:
– Is this content portal-specific or does it need to be leveraged elsewhere in the Enterprise, external to the portal
– How does the content get created (authoring tools, workflow, etc.)
– What is the nature of my content: HTML chunks and plain-text or lots of documents?
– How much overall content do I have (hundreds, thousands, tens-of-thousands or more)?

I’ve seen clients that have used both Journal and Alfresco. They use Journal for content that only makes sense in the context of the portal, and then they use Alfresco for their “Enterprise” repository, and surface that content to the portal through web scripts or Web Services.

If you are keeping the Journal portlets but using Alfresco instead of Jackrabbit (using Alfresco basically as a straight JSR-170 repository), I believe that is an option, but I don’t have the step-by-step details for setting that up. I would check the Alfresco forums for that.

Most clients I’ve seen that choose to use both Liferay and Alfresco end up creating their own portlets to work with the Alfresco content.
