Yes I think so. By this way, others can review it. I'm not sure that
the sandbox is necessary. We are not mandatory to add it in the first
release.

What do you see as the best option? It's tightly related to the OCM
tool so I think it would make sense to keep them together.

IMO it should stay together with the OCM, but most probably in a
sandbox directory till we have the time to review and improve it.

Hi,

Thanks for all the comments! Based on the positive feedback I'll
continue the process within the Graffito project and hope to graduate
the Graffito JCR mapping tool into a Jackrabbit subproject once all
the details and the incubation exit criteria are taken care of.

Object-content mapping tool in Graffito

2006-09-01 Thread Jukka Zitting

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.

Hi,

I had a look at Graffito before, and while it looked promising the  
site hasn't been updated since february, and no activity has been  
recorded for a while now (5 weeks ago the license header was updated).


Does anyone knows what the status of the project is ?

If the project is still moving then yes, this is a great move to do.

The project is not too active at the moment, but the mailing list
traffic has been increasing (see the stats at
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-graffito-dev/)
since I and a few volunteered to step in as additional project mentors
to help move things forward. Moving the mapping tool to Jackrabbit is
one idea that we came up for better focusing the goals of the project.

Nicolas,



The OCM haven't moved too much lately, mainly because of 2 reasons:
- the core 2 developers (Christopher and myself) have been quite busy
(sometimes it happens)
- the tool has already reached a good enough state (I am using it on
InfoQ.com authoring tool).

Could you explain a bit how it's being used in your authoring tool?



I am using it as any other Object-to-X mapping solution (for example
Hibernate). My model is mapped to JCR and I am using normal DAOs. Not
sure what else I can say: it is very easy if you have used any other
mapping tool.

Re: Object-content mapping tool in Graffito

2006-09-01 Thread Dan Connelly

I'm for it.

I do most of my work on Eclipse.   The Apogee CMS tool has been approved 
as an Eclipse project (but the code is still at Nuxeo).  I am following 
Apogee as a potential user,  not (currently) as a contributor.


Apogee includes Jackrabbit support for its flavor of graffito:cmsobject  
There is no object mapping.   I would eventually like to contribute (or 
support) a  mapping of Eclipse's EMF models to JCR custom node types 
under Apogee.   I am hacking together a Graffito-based jcr mapping for 
this at the present time.


This concept would gain more acceptance at Eclipse if the ocm presented 
to them were a Jackrabbit extension rather than a Graffito extension.
