Dear Magnolians We have announced a magnolia shop module quite some time ago and have passed it on to Magnolia. Unfortunately it could not be publicly released so far due to two dependencies.
One of the dependencies is a magnolia module which assists in persisting objects to the JCR repository and back. This is needed because the shop needs POJOs to handle data efficiently and the Contente2Bean classes are somewhat limited. Now instead of reinventing the wheel (which the module to some degree did) a smart man at Magnolia asked us to have a look at Jackrabbit OCM. Jackrabbit OCM does the same thing (again: to some degree) and seems to be doing it well (maybe apart from the fact that it's poorly documented and nobody knows exactly what's going on with the Jackrabbit 2 compatible version). So here's magnolia-module-ocm! It's an integration of Jackrabbit OCM into Magnolia with the following "special features" beyond OCM: - The whole class description configuration is in the config repository instead of xml files or code annotations - The magnolia collection structure is supported (collection node with numbered element nodes) - OCM works with Magnolia's mgnl:metaData nodes (which make the standard OCM trip, fall and crash terribly both when retrieving objects from the repo as well as when writing object to the repo) - automatic creation of parent nodes for hierarchical node structures (e.g. /n/na/name) is supported - automatic (numbered) node name generation is supported You can find more info about the module (incl. download links) here: http://www.fastforward.ch/web/ff/dokumentation/entwickler/magnolia-module-ocm.html Once the dependency in the shop module is exchanged we can then finally make that publicly available too.
