Liferay/MuleSoft Integration Provides Low-Cost Enterprise Java Alternative

Open source portal provider Liferay (news, site) has announced a partnership with MuleSoft, maker of open source Mule ESB and MuleSoft TCat Server, a value-added distribution of Apache Tomcat. Liferay is now offering a Liferay Portal Enterprise Edition (EE) bundle with Tcat Server pre-installed and the all-important end-to-end support from one company. The move positions Liferay as an attractive lightweight, open source, middleware platform alternative to expensive enterprise solutions.

Liferay Plus Mulesoft: Low-Cost Open Source Web Middleware

Liferay has been in around for over a decade, reports more than 4 million downloads and a quarter million deployments. The platform started out as a pure portal play. However, the company is gradually moving its product toward becoming a development platform for websites and applications — at a competitive price point.
Users can deploy Liferay to any Java web container, such as IBM WebSphere or JBoss, but when combined with popular free open source Tomcat, it provides a low-cost web content delivery option. Michael Coté of Redmonk wrote that customers who deploy Liferay to Tomcat are showing savings of up to 93% vs. platforms from Oracle and IBM and has many of the same features of the big vendors. Not a bad accomplishment for an open-source portal company.

Django Dynamic Formsets with Jquery

If you have an existing project, it's quite easy to add client-side support for adding and removing forms. I'll assume you've already created your formset. You can create formsets using any of the provided methods: both regular formsets (created with the ``formset_factory``) and inline formsets (created with the ``inlineformset_factory``) are supported. 1. First, copy ``jquery.formset.js`` to your ``MEDIA_ROOT``; don't    forget to include the jQuery library too! 2. Include a reference to the script in your template; again, remember    to reference the jQuery library, before including the script. 3. Render the formset as you would normally -- I usually use a table    but you can use DIVs, Ps or whatever you desire. Let's use the    example markup below:: <form id="myForm" method="post" action="">            <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
