This is how you get the theme context path in a velocity webcontent template in Liferay.
#set ($pathThemeImages = $xmlRequest.replaceFirst('(?s).*<path-theme-images>(.*)</path-theme-images>.*', '$1'))
#set ($themeContextName = $pathThemeImages.replaceFirst('http.*//(.*)/(.*)/images', '/$2'))
$themeContextName
Hi,
Today Im going to explain you how to integrate Liferay 6.1, Apache 2.2 and Siteminder 12.5 on Windows 2008 64bit Server.
I had to struggle for 2 days to setup the above said integration with lot many errors during siteminder integration.
Setting up Liferay should be straight forward as I explained in my previous posts.
Installing Apache should not be a big deal as well. Follow my post Here
Enable HTTPS on Liferay/Apache
I’ll attach the corresponding config files at the bottom of the post.
Now comes the big fish, Sitemender Webagent installation and configuration with Apache.
I had to install 32-bit Webagent for the 32-bit Apache installation on a 64-bit m/c.
Installation of CA Webagent for apache should be easy.
But I ran into couple issues during the configuration of Webagent. You may not run into the same but just wanted to highlight them. Please refer the Troubleshooting section
Thats it, your Liferay is now integrated with Siteminder.
Contact me if you need any assistance.
Thank you!!

Note : Include all modules realted to Rewrite and Proxy in httpd.conf file
Hi,
Today Im going to explain you how to run a BeanShell Script in Liferay6.1.
Just for now consider “If you can code in Java, you can code in BeanShell as well”.
I had a requirement to assign some UserGroups to Roles which exists with the same name as UserGroup.
I had 1000s of Groups and 1000s of Roles in the System. I was looking to accomplish the task programatically rather than manually. Then came to my rescue is the BeanShell Scripting.
Before looking into the code we’ll just see what are the implicit Liferay objects availble in BeanShell.
portletConfig, portletContext, actionRequest, actionResponse, out
import com.liferay.portal.model.Role;
import com.liferay.portal.model.UserGroup;
import com.liferay.portal.model.Role;
import com.liferay.portal.util.PortalUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.service.RoleLocalServiceUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.service.UserGroupLocalServiceUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.service.GroupLocalServiceUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.service.RoleLocalServiceUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.PortalException;
import com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.SystemException;
String groups = "groupnames,as,csv";
String[] groupNames = groups.split(",");
long companyId = PortalUtil.getCompanyId(actionRequest);
for(String groupName : groupNames){
try{
Role role = RoleLocalServiceUtil.getRole(companyId, groupName);
UserGroup userGroup = null;
try {
userGroup = UserGroupLocalServiceUtil.getUserGroup(companyId, groupName);
} catch (PortalException e1) {
out.println(e1.getMessage());
out.println("Creating Group : " + groupName);
userGroup = UserGroupLocalServiceUtil.addUserGroup(PortalUtil.getUserId(actionRequest), companyId, groupName, groupName);
} catch (SystemException e1) {
}
long[] userGroupIds = new long [1];
userGroupIds [0] = GroupLocalServiceUtil.getUserGroupGroup(companyId,userGroup .getUserGroupId()).getGroupId();
GroupLocalServiceUtil.addRoleGroups(role.getRoleId(),userGroupIds);
out.println("Added Group [" +userGroup.getName() + "] to Role["+ role.getName()+"]");
}
catch (PortalException e) {
out.println(e.getMessage());
} catch (SystemException e) {
out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
Goto Contol Panel -> Server Administration -> Script
Select Beanshell in the dropdown list and paste the code.
com.liferay.portlet.admin.action.EditServerAction
protected void runScript(
PortletConfig portletConfig, ActionRequest actionRequest,
ActionResponse actionResponse)
throws Exception {
String language = ParamUtil.getString(actionRequest, "language");
String script = ParamUtil.getString(actionRequest, "script");
PortletContext portletContext = portletConfig.getPortletContext();
Map<String, Object> portletObjects = ScriptingUtil.getPortletObjects(
portletConfig, portletContext, actionRequest, actionResponse);
UnsyncByteArrayOutputStream unsyncByteArrayOutputStream =
new UnsyncByteArrayOutputStream();
UnsyncPrintWriter unsyncPrintWriter = UnsyncPrintWriterPool.borrow(
unsyncByteArrayOutputStream);
portletObjects.put("out", unsyncPrintWriter);
try {
SessionMessages.add(actionRequest, "language", language);
SessionMessages.add(actionRequest, "script", script);
ScriptingUtil.exec(null, portletObjects, language, script);
unsyncPrintWriter.flush();
SessionMessages.add(
actionRequest, "script_output",
unsyncByteArrayOutputStream.toString());
}
catch (ScriptingException se) {
SessionErrors.add(
actionRequest, ScriptingException.class.getName(), se);
_log.error(se.getMessage());
}
}
