Frequently Asked Questions
What is Liferay DXP?
Liferay DXP is an enterprise digital experience platform for portals, intranets and customer sites, running sites, pages, portlets, fragments, content and APIs on one Java OSGi stack.
What is the difference between Liferay DXP and Liferay Portal?
Liferay Portal is the open-source core. DXP adds enterprise capabilities and support such as staging, clustering, search integrations and production tooling.
What are fragments in Liferay?
Fragments are drag-and-drop page components built from HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Site builders assemble them into experience pages without asking a developer for each change.
What is headless delivery in Liferay?
Headless delivery exposes web content, blogs and other assets as REST endpoints, and OData adds query syntax, so external apps and front ends can consume Liferay content directly.
Is Liferay DXP good for developers?
It is a solid Java career track. Portlets, OSGi and headless APIs map to mainstream Java skills, and DXP implementations need developers who can extend the platform, not just configure it.
How long is Liferay training at SkilBrill?
Eleven weeks, 66 hours across 11 modules, ending with an experience site that exposes portlets, fragments and headless APIs.
