Templates stored in repository
------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-1482
URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-1482
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: templating
Reporter: Grégory Joseph
Assigned To: Grégory Joseph
At the moment, templates (ie. paragraph or pages) are stored on the filesystem
(jsp) or the classpath (freemarker)
Having them on the repo (a specific workspace) would allow
* activating them (no more manual files copying)
* editing them within Magnolia
This seems pretty easy to implement for freemarker templates (implement a new
freemarker.cache.TemplateLoader), with one warning though: since freemarker
caches the result of its template parsing, loading the templates should
probably occur in an acl-unaware way, i.e we should not try to restrict
who/what can render certain templates. (of course, it's a different story for
editing them through the admin interface, where we definitely want to use ACLs
to determine who can view the templates source and modify them)
Doing the same thing for JSPs seems rather cumbersome (one could imagine
writing the repo content to the filesystem on creation/activation of node), and
I'm not sure we should encourage this.
