Just a cursory look Jacques - but the site looks great.

I have begun to read a bit about JSR170 (JCR) and JackRabbit. There are 2 aspects in CMS : content management and rendering. So far I don't understand clearly how is rendering managed in JackRabbit. It seems to me that JCR is only the content repository part andyou need to build something like Sling upon it, right ?I have recently created a tool for a client based on the OFBiz CMS site demo (thanks Andrew). Using customised showContentTree and viewContent for templated rendering (menus and contents using specific CompDocs). It's seems hard to get it 1st but actually it's not so much and very powerful (lot of things with small modifications). Then, on the content management side, you get something like EzPublish (an UI based on a tree for manipulating contents and their associations). I recently tested Jahia http://demo.jahia.org/cms, really smart WYSIWYG. From this experience, I'd like to have the content management as a component based on JackRabbit with a large dose of Ajax in UI. I think that having a tree and a direct access to content (like in Jahia) is not contradictory but complementary. This said I have not tried anything yet ...One thing that OFBiz can offer and no CMS softwares can, is the direct relation to the ERP data. Here is our power, this is very cost effective.So the above may be seen as a sketch of my requirements for a Content Management Application. Could we talk more about that ?Jacques From: "Andrew Zeneski" <[email protected]>I actually wrote a little prototype app using JackRabbit late last year. Its a really nifty framework. Just a different way of thinking. I think this is a really good idea..

Thanks for bringing it up as it certainly applies to this discussion.I did a little reading on JackRabbit... it's great to see it is SO far along! In fact, it looks like it is far enough along that we should probably just go for it... IMO. It supports versioning, JTA transaction, WebDAV foreditors that support/like that, and all sorts of other goodies. -David On Jul 1, 2009, at 6:16 PM, Mike Rose wrote:Have you folks looked into JSR-170, the Java Content Repository spec? It covers these classes of use cases pretty thoroughly and there are some very compelling implementations out there. Alfresco is probably the most notableand Apache JackRabbit is pretty impressive as well. Mike(new to the list, please forgive me if I've violated some protocol knownto long-term list members...)

To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 2:45 PM This is an interesting overview and while I'm not sure why I hadn't thought along these lines before, at least it's through my thick skull now... I asked Adam about how this would deploy on multiple servers with the stuff in the filesystem versus the database, and I think what you've written Ean is the answer. Why not treat a source repo (either plain SVN or something more exotic like GIT) like the database? Each app server would read from and write to the source repo just like it would a database record. If SVN or GIT support 2-phase commits we could probably even do write operations in the a transaction that includes connections to both data stores.Why not have the repositories use the OFBiz database as their data store?-Adrian
