Which technology is used in a Liferay web content portlet?

Question

In order to create web content, a web content portlet is used. What technology is behind this portlet? What was used to develop this portlet? JSP, JSF, Struts, Icefaces, or any thing else?

Moreover, is there a link to download it separately.

Answer 1

It's using JSP, Java (using Liferay MVCPortlet) possibly some Alloy UI, and Struts 1 (as it's used throughout Liferay).

You can't download it separately, but the source code is there in the Liferay source archives. You just have to dig out Web Content Specific parts.

Answer 2

The source can be found and downloaded here: https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal

You will find the java source files under: \portal-service\src\com\liferay\portlet\journal

And the jsp pages under: \portal-web\docroot\html\portlet\journal
