Hi, 1) Why would you want to implement this? Page counters are so 1990s... if it is for the purposes of stats, then why not use something like Google Analytics, or Piwik if you want to install your own...
2) Assuming you absolutely need it, here is my take on a possible implementation: - you don't want to put it as part of the page rendering process. It will be a nightmare for caching your content, and there are contention (synchronization) issues to consider. Basically it would be very slow. - you don't want to store the counters as part of the content. They would be overwritten when you re-publish the pages, etc... - so, instead, I would begin implementation with a javascript component on the frontend that makes an AJAX call to increment and read the counter value. The result can be returned as JSON and put into the page where it is needed by the javascript - on the backend, I would make a REST service for the counter, which can manage different counters based on IDs (keys). For webpage counters the ID could simply be the URL, or the page's UUID. The REST service offers methods like GET /counter/<id> (read) or POST /counter/<id> (read and increment). - The REST service stores the counter values in some backend. One option might be JCR, but another might be just SQL or even a no-SQL option like redis. Not entirely sure what would be best, but JCR is probably on the slow side for storing counters. - The REST service could be implemented extending magnolia's REST APIs, or just as a servlet.
