Hi everyone, I have been looking for a good corporate document management solution, and found Nuxeo yesterday. I've installed the program, read through docs, and played with it some. I have some questions that I can't seem to get answers to in the wiki, docs, etc. Any insight would be appreciated, and if there was info online that I should have been able to find on this, I'd appreciate knowing that, too.
So here are my questions: 1) There is a quite monolithic installer. Can I install Nuxeo onto a standard Debian jboss/tomcat/whatever installation? If not, what happens when an individual component, say jboss, has a security bug? Does everything have to be upgraded? 2) A critical part of this is accessing the system through automated means. This is not going to be from Java, however. It seems that there are many API points that require Java, but I can't find anything such as XML-RPC, REST, SOAP, etc. interfaces that are language-agnostic. If I wanted to, say, upload a new document and set the name and source field, how could I do this in an automated fashion without using Java? 3) Can we define custom metadata fields? What is the efficiency of searching for a particular word within existing metadata fields? Does each word occur in a row in an indexed database column? 4) What exactly do the browser plugins do? 5) Are there some use cases that would call for a use entirely without Sections? That is, with workspaces only? 6) What are domains for? I can't seem to see that they offer any functionality that can't be obtained through another workspace & section. 7) I get an exception (a cast exception for java.lang.long) whenever attempting to modify a vocabularly. This is with 5.1.1.GA. This didn't appear fixed in the BTS. Is there a workaround? 8) What is the scalability of the system, and where can I read about server sizing? 9) URLs to the actual document content don't appear to remain static when documents are moved to other folders. Is there a way to get a static link to a document (or a particular version) that will always be constant, even if moved? 10) How do I make it use USA date formats? (m/d/y) 11) Can I define pulldown lists for fields other than Coverage?
