liferay-portal-6.2.0-ce-ga1\tomcat-7.0.42\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes

session.shared.attributes.excludes = USER_PASSWORD

session.store.password=true

Step2: Create one liferay mvc project name: Passwordchanger  of portlet plugin type.  Now create one portlet  inside that project .In this example portlet class/controller name: ChangePassword.java

Step 3: Add below entry in liferay-portlet.xml  of created portlet after <icon></icon> tag

<private-session-attributes>false</private-session-attributes>

Step 4: Add below code in portlet view.jsp, path: docroot/html/changepassword/view.jsp

<%@ include file="init.jsp" %>

<portlet:defineObjects />

<%

PortletURL  updateUserPasswordURL = renderResponse.createActionURL();

updateUserPasswordURL.setParameter(actionRequest.ACTION_NAME, "changingMyPassword");

%>

<aui:form method="post" action="<%=updateUserPasswordURL%>">

  <liferay-ui:error exception="<%= UserPasswordException.class %>" message="that-password-has-already-been-used-please-enter-in-a-different-password" />

  <liferay-ui:error key="error-key" message="Current Password is invalid."></liferay-ui:error>

       <aui:fieldset cssClass="lfr-portrait-editor">

              <aui:input autoFocus="<%= true %>" type="password" label="Current Password" value="" name="currentPassword" autocomplete="off">

                       <aui:validator name="required" />

              </aui:input>

              <aui:input label="New Password" name="newPassword" size="30" type="password" value="">

                       <aui:validator name="required" />

              </aui:input>

              <aui:input label="Enter Again" name="confirmPassword" size="30" type="password" value="">

                       <aui:validator name="required" />

                            <aui:validator name="equalTo">

                                  '#<portlet:namespace />newPassword'

                            </aui:validator>

              </aui:input>

              <aui:button-row><aui:button type="submit"/></aui:button-row>

       </aui:fieldset>

</aui:form

Step 5: Create one new jsp name:init.jsp  page inside docroot/html/changepassword/init.jsp

And add below code.

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.UserPasswordException"%>

<%@page import="javax.portlet.PortletURL"%>

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.WebKeys"%>

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.theme.ThemeDisplay"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/aui" prefix="aui"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/ui" prefix="liferay-ui" %>

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil"%>

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.model.User"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet" %>

Step 6: Add below code in portlet controller, in this example controller name: ChangePassword.java

package com.test;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.portlet.ActionRequest;

import javax.portlet.ActionResponse;

import javax.portlet.PortletException;

import com.liferay.util.bridges.mvc.MVCPortlet;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

import com.liferay.portal.UserPasswordException;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.PortalException;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.SystemException;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.servlet.SessionErrors;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.servlet.SessionMessages;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.WebKeys;

import com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil;

import com.liferay.portal.theme.ThemeDisplay;

import com.liferay.portal.util.PortalUtil;

import com.liferay.util.EncryptorException;

/**

 * Portlet implementation class ChangePassword

 */

public class ChangePassword extends MVCPortlet {

       public void changingMyPassword(ActionRequest actionRequest,ActionResponse actionResponse) throws PortalException, SystemException, EncryptorException, IOException, PortletException

       {

                     try {

                                  ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay)actionRequest.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);

                                  HttpServletRequest httprequest = PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest(actionRequest);

                                  HttpSession httpsession = httprequest.getSession();

                                 

                                  //Get the user's current password from session

                                  String userAccountdatabasePassword = (String)httpsession.getAttribute(WebKeys.USER_PASSWORD);

                                  String userInputcurrentPassword = (String) actionRequest.getParameter("currentPassword").trim();

                          

                                  String newPass = (String) actionRequest.getParameter("newPassword").trim();

                                  String confirmPass = (String) actionRequest.getParameter("confirmPassword").trim();

                                 

                                  if (userAccountdatabasePassword.equals(userInputcurrentPassword) && newPass.equals(confirmPass)) {

                                                UserLocalServiceUtil.updatePassword(themeDisplay.getUserId(), newPass,confirmPass, false);

                                                //Set the entered new password into session after changing the password

                                                httpsession.setAttribute(WebKeys.USER_PASSWORD, newPass);

                                                SessionMessages.add(actionRequest, "request_processed", "User Account Password updated successfully.");

                                                actionResponse.setRenderParameter("jspPage", "/html/changepassword/view.jsp");

                                  } else {

                                          SessionErrors.add(actionRequest, "error-key", "Sorry, Something wrong.");

                                          actionResponse.setRenderParameter("jspPage", "/html/changepassword/view.jsp");

                                  }

                     } catch (UserPasswordException e) {

                                     SessionErrors.add(actionRequest, UserPasswordException.class.getName(), e);

                                     actionResponse.setRenderParameter("jspPage", "/html/changepassword/view.jsp");

                     }

       }

}

After deploying portlet.

Liferay Cache Using MultiVMPoolUtil

Liferay Version: Liferay 6.2

In this post we will see how to use liferay cache.

In this example we will put values in cache inside render method and will get that cache value in jsp.

We can put cache in other places also.

STEPS:

Step1: Create one liferay mvc project name: Caching of portlet plugin type.  Now create one portlet  inside that project .In this example portlet class/controller name: Cache.java

Step 2: Add below code in portlet view.jsp, path: docroot/html/caching/view.jsp

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet" %>

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.Validator"%>

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.model.User"%>

<%@page import="java.util.List"%>

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.kernel.cache.MultiVMPoolUtil"%>

<portlet:defineObjects />

<%

String name = (String)MultiVMPoolUtil.getCache("my-Cache").get("Name");

List<User> users =(List<User>)MultiVMPoolUtil.getCache("myList-Cache").get("listValue");

%>

Name : <%=name%>

<%

if(Validator.isNull(users)){

       out.println("cache is cleared...");

} else{

       for(User userInfo: users){

              %>

              <p style="color:green;"><%=userInfo.getEmailAddress()%></p><br/>

        <%

        }

}

%>

Step 3: Add below code in portlet controller, in this example controller name: Cache.java

package com.test;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.io.Serializable;

import java.util.List;

import javax.portlet.PortletException;

import javax.portlet.RenderRequest;

import javax.portlet.RenderResponse;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.cache.MultiVMPoolUtil;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.SystemException;

import com.liferay.portal.model.User;

import com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil;

import com.liferay.util.bridges.mvc.MVCPortlet;

/**

 * Portlet implementation class Cache

 */

public class Cache extends MVCPortlet {

        @Override

              public void render(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response)

                           throws PortletException, IOException {

                    

                  String name = "Azharuddin";

                     List<User>  userList = null;

                      try {

                            userList = UserLocalServiceUtil.getUsers(-1, UserLocalServiceUtil.getUsersCount());

                     } catch (SystemException e) {

                           // TODO Auto-generated catch block

                           e.printStackTrace();

                     }

                      MultiVMPoolUtil.getCache("myList-Cache").put("listValue", (Serializable)userList);

                      MultiVMPoolUtil.getCache("my-Cache").put("Name",name);

                      // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                     super.render(request, response);

              }

      

}

After deploying portlet.
