David Sean Taylor commented on JS2-251:
---------------------------------------

There is a database version of the org.apache.jetspeed.page.impl.DatabasePageManager.java, although its not completely implemented. Also see the database schema, there are already tables in place. Feel free to take this implementation on go with it.

See the current object model we have in place for pages and folders under the jetspeed-api subproject:

org.apache.jetspeed.om.page

There are differences between a page and folder in that model. A page is a leaf node.
Also review the Graffito project, as we are considering implementing a Page Manager with a Graffito backend.

There is also a Site Manager portlet which I was planning on working on over the next month. Its already started, but doesn't do much yet. Review it, and we can try to design its behavior from here.

> Hi,
> actually, the navigation structure is layed out to the filesystem (WEB-INF/pages). 
> Have you ever thought about saving the navigation into the database. 
> I thought about the following:
> - There is no difference between a page and folder, the are "categories"
> - A page can contain portlets and also a new categorie
> It's like a tree
> Top-Navigation
>    |
> ----------
> |        |
> Cat1    Cat2
> |
> Cat3
> and so on..
> So there a Top-Level-Navigation (actually the "Tab"-Navigation). There are only "Cat1" and "Cat2" shown. The other categories are shown in a drop down menu.
> On my opinion, this opens much features, which are lost if using the file-system.
> How do you think about this ?
> Best regards,
> Sebastian
