Questions about OCM, production readiness and documentation status

[Juan Pereyra <ju...@globant.com>]

Hi guys,

First of all my kudos to you for the great work so far, and now down to business. I'm analysing JackRabbit and the OCM for one of our clients and I came to notice the small amount of documentation on the OCM. I understand this is a fairly new project but I expected to have something like the Hibernate mapping docs, that states the use, parameters and characteristics of each annotation.

The main reason for us to have such a requirement is that we'll be running this project with a large team that knows about content management, but has never worked with the JCR nor Jackrabbit.

I was considering doing without the OCM, at least for now, and writing the mappers for each domain object by hand, or doing a very simple generic mapper at most; but something keeps pushing me to think that the OCM is a great product and would be indeed very useful for us; but you tell me.

Also, does OCM support lazy loading?

Thanks,
Juan

Agree. We need to add more docs.

yes on bean and collection attributes (set the annotation proxy=true)

Hope this help.
