Not that I think we should do that, but why would it be hard? It's
just tables in a database, screens that read from and write to the
data...
On the other hand, if anyone wants to research that I'd recommend
researching the OFBiz stuff first so you can understand what it is
like and what it supports. No sense replacing something that already
takes care of your needs, even if you didn't know it.

Yup. The hard part is to work with in the confines of ofbiz framework.
takes a lot of time to chart the flow of drupal then apply it to
ofbiz.

I did not mean integration with an PHP based application. Just the
design
philosophy of the data structures and the concept of modules in
drupal (of
course, this is easier in a dynamically typed language like php).

There is a lot of interest in CMS. I would suggest also looking at
Drupal's
way of doing CMS (drupal,org) as I believe that it is very
interesting
and
flexible. However it is more suited to the web (as opposed to
enterprise
content management).

Hi Al,
I do not want to hijack the thread but I think there is more
interest in
CMS
than you could believe.
There were also discussions on using OFBiz CMS to host the
OFBiz Web
site
itself.
This would be great and, may be, now that it seems you are back
on-line,
we
could have better chance.
Thank you,

Angelo,
I implemented the CMS years ago per David's design. At the
time, I
thought
it would be wise to have a single service,
persistContentAndAssoc,
which
did
everything - creating and updating, all types of media and all
possible
repositories (ie. database, filesystem, etc). I am not
convinced that
it
would not be nice to have such a tool, even though it tends to
go
against
the "OFBiz way" (I claim that for a T-shirt). I don't think
persistContentAndAssoc is that tool, though I would love
someone to
improve
on it or simplify it.
Not having a clear API for working with the CMS is its greatest
drawback,
I
think. Saner heads than mine have broken the persist process
into
multiple
steps. I drew from what they have done and here is how I
recently did a
simple text persist:
...
String localeString = (String)entry.getKey();
String textData = (String)entry.getValue();
// Create new content
mapIn = new HashMap();
mapIn.put("localeString", localeString);
mapIn.put("objectInfo", textData);
mapIn.put("userLogin", userLogin);
mapIn.put("dataResourceTypeId", "SHORT_TEXT");
mapIn.put("mimeTypeId", "text/plain");
result = dispatcher.runSync("createDataResource",
mapIn);
String dataResourceId =
(String)result.get("dataResourceId");
mapIn = new HashMap();
mapIn.put("localeString", localeString);
mapIn.put("textData", textData);
mapIn.put("description", description);
mapIn.put("userLogin", userLogin);
mapIn.put("dataResourceId", dataResourceId);
result = dispatcher.runSync("createContent",
mapIn);
String contentId =
(String)result.get("contentId");
// Create assoc to SurveyQuestionOption
// Angelo, note that this is not the
ContentAssoc entity
that you would use.
// I think you would just use the
createContentAssoc
service
here instead
// And I would use FastMaps because that is the
OFBiz
way.
mapIn = new HashMap();
mapIn.put("localeString", localeString);
mapIn.put("contentId", contentId);
mapIn.put("surveyAnswerOptionId",
surveyAnswerOptionId);
mapIn.put("userLogin", userLogin);
Map result2 =
dispatcher.runSync("createSurveyAnswerOptionContentAssoc",
mapIn);
In my mind, that is still a lot of code, when there are only a
few
pieces
of
data, but you might want to stick to something like this for
now.
Sorry I can't be of more help, but I have forgotten much of
what I did
before. With Hans taking an interest in CMS, maybe things will
get
improved.

Hi,
I am following the debate between Hans and David about Content
Component.
I am looking at a way to upload a resource and integrate it in
database.
In Content Component there is a java service:
persistContentAndAssoc
which
is called very often.
Instead in Party Component it seems that this service is
replaced by
uploadPartyContentFile which don't call
"persistContentAndAssoc" but
other
services.
Why?
To upload a file it is better to follow Party Component?
"persistContentAndAssoc" is been replaced in the system?
Thank you.
