Hi all,
Hi, Jason
I try to solve problem with integration some CMS to existing web app.
Web app is based on java (basic 3-layered architecture). UI layer is
based on
Apache Wicket framework.
Our web app is deployed on Glassfish server.
I need to put a new parts to my existing pages, it will be CMS part.
Ok, so, if I right understand, you need to integrate Magnolia into your
existing webapp, and not viceversa, isn't it?
For example:
I have two divs on web page.
Whole page html is generated by wicket.
First div is generated by wicket with data from service.
Second div - CMS div is generated from csm. My idea is to ask CMS
for appropriate particional HTML for CMS element.
Yes, it seems so.
Is it of course possible. You can interact whith Magnolia in a
"REST-like" way, because each portion of a web page generated by
Magnolia can be called as single "atoms".
A page in Magnolia is often built with paragraphs.
You can call pages
e.g.: http://yourhost/yourPage.html
or you can call also paragraphs
e.g.: http://yourhost/yourPage/pageArea/pageParagraphX.html
Each call respect the MVC Magnolia framework
(ParagraphRenderer/TemplateRenderer + JCR data + Freemarker)
Otherwise, you can customize Magnolia filters to fulfill you requirement.
But it is only my idea.
Do you thing that Magnolia CMS is good for my case.
If yes can you give me some tips how to do that, because
i really don't know how to do it.
First, learn as much as you can about Magnolia and STK.
You can find url in last days messages in this list.
Then, you have to choose your approach.
A REST approach (easy)
A webservice approach (mor complicated)
A custom approach (it depends :-))
An include approach, where you place Magnolia aside you existing webapp
(i don't know..)
...
HTH,
Matteo
