Hi everyone,
hello
Hi Alain,
Thanks for the helpful reply. I think a large part of my confusion
is all
the Java bits. I've not been involved in the Java world for quite
awhile,
and it's not clear to me how that all fits together. How are upgrades
handled? Does the installer know to not overwrite the XML files
that I've
customized for our unique document types?
The current installer is a bit dumb. It doesnt't do much more that
exploding a tarball / zipball. We choose to provide it so that non-
programmers can try it easily on their Windows / Mac machines.
We have plans for a more sophisticated (graphical) installer, though,
but that's another story. Basically, it will just provide a nice
interface on top of the maven-based command-line installation procedure.
I have a few other followup questions:
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.
I couldn't find a sandbox or a sample project on svn.nuxeo.org. I
did find
the tutorial about this which looks promising. Where is this sample
project?
http://svn.nuxeo.org/trac/nuxeo/browser/org.nuxeo.project.sample/trunk
I'm also a bit confused about the docs. There are some docs on
nuxeo.org,
other stuff in a "book", these howtos linked to from
svn.nuxeo.org... It
might be nice to make the nuxeo.org page have a more comprehensive
set of
links.
Well, there is basically nuxeo.org, the Wiki and the Book.
Nuxeo.org is a website with background information and links to
relevant information.
The Wiki is for quickly publishing bits of useful information without
worrying to much.
The Book is supposed to be more structured, except that is it a work
in progress.
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 :-) )
I also couldn't find these nightly builds. Where can I go to
download one?

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.
I was meaning more along the lines of this...
With my almost completely empty, idle, default install, the Java
process has
over 400MB resident and over 1GB mapped (virtual). This strikes me
as huge
for a webserver. So if I'm going to have 200 users hitting this
thing, and
100,000 documents, am I going to need to have 20GB of RAM? If so,
that's
going to be an issue. Or does it scale more linearly -- it will never
really need more than 400MB RAM?
100000 of documents is not an issue, OTOH 200 users hitting the
server at the same time on a 1GB RAM server, it don't think it is a
reasonable option.
We recommend at least 2 GB of RAM in your server (and more of it if
it's possible), as this is a reasonable setting for even a cheap
server on the market at this moment.
BTW: running Nuxeo EP on a 700 MB RAM VmWare appliance (like I do on
my 2GB laptop) is fine as long as you don't have tens of users
hitting the box.
