Apparently, from version 7.1 GA2, the configuration file spring messaging.xml (within their bundle) seems to no longer be considered, in fact, the Message Destination are not really "create." Has anyone noticed this thing? Could it be a bug, or was it deliberately removed by Liferay in favor of the configuration via OSGi component?

Hello,

Can I use /ehcache/liferay-multi-vm-terracotta.xml to set ehcache for liferay7.1GA2?

Trying to display the below custom field on create_account.jsp in Liferay Portal 7.1.0 GA2. The permission for a guest user to view and update is already set to the custom field but it is not displaying.

<liferay-ui:custom-attribute className="<%= User.class.getName() %>" classPK="<%= 0 %>" editable="<%= true %>" label="<%= false %>" name="address2"> <liferay-ui:custom-attribute/>
