Hello, we are currently developing our first website with magnolia. We need to get dynamic content via some external request calls so we have chosen magnolia with the possibility to use Spring MVC.
After some research time we found out how to integrate own classes while still using the great functionality of the Standard Templating Kit. To keep the number of external requests as low as possible we would like to get some data right from the root template and save it with MgnlContext or inherit it to the areas and components. Now our problem is we don't know the best way how to handle this problem. We could either use a blossom template as our pages template or we could define an own class as modelClass and start the requests in the model class. With first method we are losing the control to define which areas we can use etc with the jcr. With the second method we are asking ourselves "why using blossom?". Do you have experience in creating a magnolia site with highly dynamic content and external content sources? What is your architecture? In which case you use a component/area/page as STK or blossom template? Thank you very much for your response Wolfgang -- Context is everything: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=6bf51e27-9d18-4ef6-8472-15e5e84641c7 ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details, see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/community/mailing-lists.html Alternatively, use our forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
