Hi,
I am doing an evaluation of graffito for the purpose of integration
to our portal. I have few questions regarding the design and
technologies used .
1. Does graffito has its own session management ? I understand it "no"
since this is not designed as a standalone webapp.(or can I run it
without riding on portal ?) When it gets deployed as portlets , it uses
the session management of the portal system. Here , it uses the session
management of Jetspeed portal. Kindly confirm my understanding.
2. How are portal users mapped to cms users ? e.g when I deploy
graffito war to jetspeed , the content browser portlet for
browsing,editing,creating documents + folders , gets configured for
admin while content tree portlet gets configured for anonymous and user.
Where are these configurations stored ?
3. Does it depend on apache's commons logging framework or is there any
other framework on top of this ?
4. Is there any roadmap to implement workflow service ?
5. Will the JCR plugin be using OCM ? Is it possible to use the
existing model and model service to use jcr mapping layer directly and
depend on this mapping (persistence layer) for
versioning,security,search. Basically, what I am asking is that can I
skip the abstractions of the services which are already part of JSR170
implementation . I have tried the following:
* Tried to navigate document creation , which uses Graffito store
for persistence, since jcr mapping is not yet integrated.
* Separated the jcr mapping layer from the other graffito stack,
created my own model and used jcr mapping to persist. This layer
can be directly used for search and versioning.
My concern is if I integrate graffito to my portal and create my own
model based on Content/CmsObject , do I still have to go through the
abstraction of all the services , even though I am only interested in
jcr using jcr mapping.
6. The project is under incubation. Where should i look for license
details ?
Thanks,
Appreciate reponse.
