Hi Lenya - people!
I am Milan and I am for years in J2EE fields, but with
no experience in CMS and especially not in Cocoon:)
I am assigned to lead a project for Document drafting,
amendment and publishing, something similar can be
found at: http://www.pleasereview.com
So, first before I get deep down to Lenya and Cocoon I
would like to ask if it can be upgraded without huge
effort to satisfy these needs:
- store users (authors and reviewers) along with their
organisations in RDBMS
"authors" (login info) are being saved within LDAP or filesystem, but
one could customize Lenya such that they are being saved within a RDBMS
- authors upload XML content with specified XML schema
yes
- author creates workflow process and assignes tasks
to specefied reviewers
arbitrary workflows can be defined/configured (finite state engine),
but there is no GUI to define a workflows
- system validates content against schema
yes
and aganst
some supplied schematron business rules.
would need some customization
- reviewer can comment a specified editable unit in
this kind of document (e.g amandment in some
legislation) with WYSIWYG editor. These comments are
stored in DB in threaded manner (comment on comment)
needs customization of the specific document type, whereas
for instance DocBook has something like that already
- Retrieve particular specified editable units for
this document type in some naviagtion bar
should be possiblem, but what do you mean by "some navigation bar"?
- when all reviewers specified in workflow finish
their reviewing, author accepts a comment and this is
inserted in WYSIWYG editor in specified section (e.g
amandment)
customization
- document is published in PDF
yes, but depends on doctype
- Live documents has to be searched in structured,
full text manner, e.g give me all amandments in
legislations which have term "Germany".
I used Lucene a lot so far, but always for
unstructured full text search scenarios.
So this is simplified scenario and these questions can
be extracted from it:
- how complicated is to add new servlets and
interaction with DB tables for users, organizations,
comments
not sure what you mean
- If Lenya search meschanism cannot be applied to some
structured content, how complicated is to implemt
Xindice API and use its search capabilities.
possible (has been done)
- Is there a user friendly way to specify workflow
process (I used in my career jawe XPDL editor)
not yet (see above), but shouldn't be too hard to develop an UI for this
I know that this is a lot of questions, but I think a
lot of people could have the similar among them, so
any help would be more than welcome.
yes, I think the usecase of Document Management asks for these features.

Thank you in advance
Milan
