Mastering Liferay Workspaces and Tooling

Course Overview

Understanding Liferay Bundles

Liferay bundles are self-contained packages that include everything you need to run the platform. A Liferay bundle is a term that is used to refer to the two main components that make up a Liferay installation:

  1. Liferay DXP: The Liferay platform itself, including all its core capabilities.
  2. Application Server: A pre-configured Tomcat servlet container for running Liferay DXP.

These two components work in tandem to manage inbound user requests, process those requests, and provide responses to users.

You can use these bundles locally. This is a common scenario for development purposes, supplying a private environment where you can experiment with configurations, extensions, and customizations. without affecting teammates or production systems.

Since bundles come pre-configured with both Liferay and an application server, setting up a local environment is as simple as downloading, extracting, and starting the server. This enables quick setup and easy portability between developers or workstations.

Benefits of Local Bundles

Local bundles are often the most effective way to quickly debug issues, offering several advantages:

  • Eliminate network delays.
  • Provide full access to logs for inspection.
  • Enable developers to use debugging tools to examine code systematically.

These advantages streamline your workflow by enabling you to test changes without the overhead of managing a full-scale server infrastructure. This approach accelerates the development process by enabling you to work on Liferay projects without waiting for deployments or server availability. As such, local bundles are crucial for efficient and agile development, enabling you to examine and refine modifications before implementing them in other environments.

Conclusion

Now that you’ve reviewed the basics about Liferay bundles, you’ll learn how to set up and configure local Liferay bundles.
