Hi everyone,
hello
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?
The installer is for easy-going stuff, in fact, you only need to set
up a jboss 4.04 or 4.05, and to deploy the ear. And in the coming
next months, it will be ok on any jee5 java server.
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?
THe Webservice API is not largely implemented indeed : you have the
file manager, that enables you to create documents. Having a high
quality WS API targeted to a large public requires a lot of work as
you have to choose goood stantards, check for comatibility etc ...
So, there will be one, later ! but, in you case, as you know what you
will do, you can fastly developp a webservice facade, using the java
api.
Also, there is a restletpack, that allows you to deploy fastly a new
Restlet, and to have your own business Rest api.
3) Can we define custom metadata fields?
ideed, there are some tutorials, see http://svn.nuxeo.org. You can
download in sandbox the sample project, it shows you how to create a
type with custom metadata. Metadata relies on xsd definition, end
supports complex type.
What is the efficiency of
searching for a particular word within existing metadata fields?
You can configure the ful-text search on any existing metadata of the
document.
Does each word occur in a row in an indexed database column?
Some else can tell you.
4) What exactly do the browser plugins do?
drag'n drop from files and directories from your explorer.
5) Are there some use cases that would call for a use entirely without
Sections? That is, with workspaces only?
of course, and even with something else than workfpace : the startup
structure is enterly cusmisable, depending on your needs
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.
in the future it will be down to have different security policy, and
to associate different cores,. For now, you can use it as a away to
have isolated couples of workspace / sections.
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?
I had it also, but not anymore since I updated from the 5.1 branch
(nighlty build), so I guess it has been corrected (and I saw the
"parent" managmeent ui has been improved :-) )
8) What is the scalability of the system, and where can I read
about server sizing?
You can deploy the diffrent services on different machine and then do
some repartitoin on some of them.
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?
the url ARE static , relying on the UUID of the document. and also,
they can stand the UI information, to access to a s pecial view.
Also, it is possible to adapt the look of the URL through the URL codec
http://localhost:8080/nuxeo/nxdoc/default/da712811-f9a9-4851-8ff3-
b488475f431a/view_documents?tabId=TAB_MY_SUBSCRIPTIONS
10) How do I make it use USA date formats? (m/d/y)
some one else can tell you
11) Can I define pulldown lists for fields other than Coverage?
You can define as many as you want, provided you contribute a
directory for each, see the sample project.`
Thanks,
good luck !
