Hi guys First of all I am very new to Magnolia and Blossom but I am very experienced with Springframework. Have to say so far this Blossom stuff looks very good.
But I have a couple of general question to try to understand what happens here So I have create a project very similar to Tobias example project. I get it is a web app that is deployable to Magnolia and can start using Jetty. I have configured it to use MySQL as the repository and it work fine. I have alos read http://dev.magnolia-cms.com/~gjoseph/dont-build-magnolia-build-your-projects to understand how I could make this project better to support different environment and such. But here are a couple of general question 1. Inside the project I have a number of configuration files that seems to have a lot of settings and even string variable we use in the jsp pages. When I start it up I go to the page and then I edit the content so I am really adding text to the text that was defined in the project. I then kill Jetty and restart it. The content that I then edited is still there so I guess that Magnolia recognize the page (every page has uuid or something right?) and fetches the content from the repository and not from the file website.home.xml. Is this assumption correct? If so what happen the next time I deploy if I have changed the values in website.home.xml will Magnolia read it and merge it into the repository or something? 2. The same with page structure. I don't want to define the page structure completely in the Spring MVC project. I would much more like to create a webapp that has a number of modules that the web editor can use when he/she creates the site. So more or less no "pages" modules just "components" modules. Is this a valid approach or how do you create your project so that the web editor and developer can co-exist? I will try as much as possible to write a blog about my fist attempt with Magnolia and blossom so everyone can follow what I learn at http://blossommagnolia.wordpress.com/ Thanks Magnus -- Context is everything: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=5432f0a7-cfb2-46b6-b092-c5c710ac07f6 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
