design query when using standard jcr nodetypes (nt:folder,nt:file)

2007-02-14 Thread ruchi goel 

Hi,
  In graffito's framework, cmsObject is the root object and all the 
content inherits from cmsobject. The idea behind , if I understand 
correctly , is that there are common model properties between various 
models like document, article etc and there are common services like 
versioning,security , permission etc applicable to all kinds of content


While using jcr-mapping layer  ,  cmsObject can be mapped  to a custom 
node type (graffito:cmsObject) inherited from nt:base . Similarly, 
folder to graffito:cmsFolder , inherited fro cmsObject and so ..on


Now, if I want to use nt:file and nt:folder , so that I have custom node 
types ps:folder and ps:file ineriting from nt:folder and nt:file , is it 
still possible to have similar flexibilty as above , in terms of 
designing a generic framework . I feel I am stuck because evenif I have 
somethig like ps:base (with additional properties) inheriting from 
nt:base ,  ps:folder inherits from nt:folder and cannot inherit 
properties from ps:base.



Am I going in a wrong direction ? The idea is to use what jsr170 
supports like predefined nt:file, nt:folder, use jcr-mapping  and still 
try to achieve a pluggable framework (with services attched to base 
content type).



Thanks,
Ruchi

Hi Ruchi,

As you can see in another thread, we are going to speak about the
Graffito content model.
So please, joins us in the other thread.

Within JCR, you are not mandatory to use the predefined node types
like nt:file, nt:folder ...
I don't know your application requirements but why not to build a new
content model. I mean define your own node types ?
