Hi, I would favor this move also to bring back some momentum into this tool.
I have taken a quick look at it and it looks interesting - in fact it is almost the same as what I have been thinking of in terms of such a tool. +1 Regards Felix On 9/1/06, Jukka Zitting <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, The incubating Graffito project (http://incubator.apache.org/graffito/) is building a nice portlet-based content management framework. One of the design goals is to be independent of the underlying storage model using mapping tools to present a pure Java object model to higher level components. Graffito is currently is using Apache OJB to achieve this on top of relational databases, but they also want to support JCR content repositories as storage components. To achieve this they've already created a relatively complete object-content mapping (ocm) tool called Graffito JCR Mapping (http://incubator.apache.org/graffito/jcr-mapping/). There was recent discussion on the Graffito mailing lists about the ocm tool being ptoentially useful to other people as well, and that being a Graffito subproject probably doesn't give the tool enough visibility among JCR users. One idea would be to graduate the Graffito JCR Mapping subproject into a Jackrabbit subproject to get greater exposure. The initial response within the Graffito community was positive to this idea, so I'd like to ask for opinions also from the Jackrabbit community. Would you think that bringing in the ocm tool would be a good addition to the set on-top-of-JCR components we already have? There are a number of stakeholders to consider and practical issues to sort out to actually make the idea happen, but I can start taking care of those if there is general consensus that this would be a good move.
