Tiivistelmä
This thesis describes some of the possibilities of Liferay. Liferay is an open-source portal framework, which can be used to create multipurpose websites. To begin the thesis project we first needed to analyse the capabilities of Liferay and to determine if it was a feasible framework for a student web portal, Only afterwards we were able to start creating a prototype.
As the first step of the thesis project we made an action plan which describes the project itself and the wishes and needs of the client. In this thesis report we then present Liferay and explain some important parts it uses. After that we also discuss the consolidation of Intalio with Liferay. This section will be followed by the development scheme. Including the theme and the portlets we created for the prototype. This section of the report also discusses about Vaadin. A portlet programming language based on Java, which makes it possible to create and manage complicated and complex JavaScript-based web components.
After the section that describes the development of the portal prototype, we also discuss how external data can be integrated into Liferay. Moreover Liferay and SharePoint are compared and analysed. In the concluding section of the thesis we highlight some problems we encountered or some remarks we noticed while creating the prototype.
