brix is about cms functionality only, it is not a "higher-level wicket" application framework. it embeds in both directions: you can have pure wicket pages living next to brix-managed cms pages, and you can also have wicket components living inside brix pages via brix's concept of Tiles. > I mean, lets say you 2 things: > > 1. you want to build a new pet-shop (or cheese-shop in case of Eelco and > Martinj ;) - would you start by using brix and put the rest on top of it? does your cheese shop require any cms functionality? if you need an admin to be able to change markup for your cheese shop pages via a cms or add new pages to the website via a cms then i would build the ecommerce part as a set of tiles and drop them into brix pages. this is, indeed, the primary usecase for brix as my company is using it to build ecommerce sites. > 2. you already have a pet-shop based on wicket but want to extend it with > some informational area - could you just embed brix into it or would this > mean some bigger changes to the rest of the pet-shop? you can pretty much just drop brix in and map it to a subset of url space. -igor > > Best, > > Korbinian > > Igor Vaynberg schrieb: >> >> we have released Brix 1.0 beta1 [1] yesterday. for those of you who do >> not know what Brix is, it is an embeddable CMS for wicket apps based >> on wicket (of course) and the jcr (jackrabbit).
