Jackrabbit Branch Development / Integration

In this section I want to summarize the process of the content repository integration.

All development takes place in the jackrabbit branch.

Information about JCR and Jackrabbit

Motivation - Why we want to integrate Jackrabbit / a JCR Interface in OFBiz

  • When we have an external content Repository it's easy to connect third party tools to the repository (i.e. CMS Systems)
  • If we have a generic JCR implementation we can simply add different content repositories
  • Content Repositories allow easier maintenance of complex content structures, as contents are no longer stored in different tables (Content, Resource, ElectronicText ...).
  • Content Repositories can provide revisioning of contents and content modifications

Table of Content

Still to be done

Ideas

  • Propagate and enforce OfBiz permissions, roles and users to JCR
  • Expose the JCR part via WebDAV (and/or some RESTish service)
  • JCR contents shall always be revisioned
  • Prevent duplication of properties between OfBiz and JCR
  • Explore Content Addressable Storage CAS options to prevent duplicate contents
  • Use this opportunity to create a simple workflow for OfBiz CMS Contents (or externalize to a CMS that provides a workflow)
  • No labels
