Jackrabbit Branch Development / Integration
In this section i I want to summarize the process of the content repository integration.
All development take takes place in the jackrabbit branch.
Information
...
about JCR and Jackrabbit
- The Java Content Repository API (JCR) is a standard for content repositories
- JCR = JAVA Content Repository
- Jackrabbit is an implementation of the JCR specification
- Content Repository for Java Technology API Specification (JSR-170)
- Content Repository for Java Technology API Specification (JSR-283)
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
- A content Repository make it much easier to maintain Content Repositories allow easier maintenance of complex content structures, content is not as contents are no longer stored in different tables (Content, Resource, ElectronicText ...).
What is done
- Created a new independent JCR module in the framework
- Start the Jackrabbit Container on ofbiz startup
- Created a Repository Factory
- Content Repositories can provide revisioning of contents and content modifications
Table of Content
- Initial integration of the Jackrabbit repository - features and architecture description
- Design documents
- Configuration document
- Requirements and Ideas
- Current DB based content implementation vs JCR based content implementation
