Dear Magnolians
we make quite heavy use of the excellent data module. However
regularly we need to keep/manipulate data over the course of several
requests. Now from my experience nodes do not like to be kept over
more than one request:
- First of all they are not serializable
- Then, the JCR sessions only seem to live in a thread (= request) so
accessing the node after the thread would also cause troubles
- Finally we often need customized accessor methods, so at least
extending the DefaultContent node object would be desirable
So far we've created custom beans and controllers in these cases,
reading the data from the node into a bean (using the great
Content2BeanUtil class), manipulating the data in the bean and then
finally updating the node with the new data from the bean again.
In order to keep things as generic as possible and not having to copy
pretty much the same code into different projects, I now wanted to
start a CRUD module. But before I invest too much time on it, I wanted
to ask the more experienced Magnolians on this list about how they are
solving this problem. Maybe I'm missing something and it's all very
easy?
Thanks for your input.
