#LRNAS2014
Asset-based
Same functionalities for any type of asset, not only
documents
Support for assets created by 3rd-party plugins
ASSET Abstraction for any type of Liferay content
Unified view through Asset Publisher, categories,
tags, indexed search, comments, ratings, social
bookmarks, approval workflows, etc.
#LRNAS2014
Modular
Solution split in several, highly decoupled plugins
Still no OSGi (but definitely on the road). Instead:
com.liferay.portal.kernel.messaging.HotDeployMessageListener
com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.PortletClassInvoker
Dynamic Proxies
Easier to test and maintain
Tailored to project needs
