Hello,
I'm new around here, so excuse my ignorance :)
I'm very interested in integrating sling as a content repository with wicket
- but I think this goes for any web framework out there.
I can't redesign the entire wicket application in sling, I've invested too
much in the framework, but I'm looking for advice on integrating the two.
It the following scenario possible? wicket for UI / admin backend and sling
as a content repository (images / pdf's) - I don't mind having a different
admin console for the sling sever, and OSGI really rocks.
I'd like to have the content like 'content/paper/1.pdf' available as a
static public resource , ALSO have private resources available only to
logged users AND private resources available only to the resource's
creator(the author).
Now for the hard part, what are my options for integration ?
1# GET/POST & JSON- maybe through apache commons-httpclient ,that
certinally keeps the systems decoupled.
In this case I'm wondering how can you share user management? and resource
access control?
2# wicket doesn't do OSGI , so I guess a tighter integration is really
out of the question
I've looked around on the wiki and there's not much info into integrating
with external systems.
What I am trying to find out here is if Sling can bring something new to the
table, or should I go one level deeper, and look into integration with
jackrabbit directly.
By the way, if anyting good comes out of this, I can happily contribute it
back to the project as an example/usecase.
many thanks in advance,
Alex
