liferay question

> does any one knows about liferay?

>how to build own site using liferay?

Liferay is one of the popular Portal / Portal Server / Portlet Container which follows JSR 168.It does give you flexiblity to deploy your portlets applications (.war) which use JSR 168 and does provide functionality of modifying its source to create your own portal out of it.

for knowing of how to do this you might have to go through the documentation they provide for their 4.2 version.

http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/documentation

http://wiki.liferay.com/index.php/Main_Page

http://wiki.liferay.com/index.php/Liferay_FAQ

they do provide good amount of documentation regarding Installation / Configuration,Customizing the Portal,how to configure devolopment enviroment(ext), how to modify its source code with ample amount of material (visual,textual).

and on a personal standpoint you got to be patient enough to find what you want & then go through.

btb, may be this is not the right place to post your questions specific to liferay, It has its own Discussion Forums to help you in this regard.

http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/devzone/forums

and from my past experiences it was quite useful as well.

Well i believe its a partial combination of both.

You may have to build certain Customized portlets which could include which fits into your business needs(and removing existing portlets which are not required) and configuring existing portal source as per your nessasites you may not need certain aspects of the portal in terms of thems,added functionalites,modification existing portlets which are much more important,extending Liferay's datamodel with that of yours & etc.
