Link

[David Sean Taylor <da...@bluesunrise.com>]

Hi Christophe,

In the older versions of Graffito/JCMS that I am (still (sigh)) using, 
links exist in folders. I can't see how thats modeled in the SVN head.

Folders have contents and folders have more folders.
Im proposing folders having links, and either:

Link extend Content instead of CmsObject

-- or --

add method to Folder

getLinks()

Thanks,

David

Content can be binaries associated to a content type (the interface is
Document : see the dm pck).
But Content will later other descendant like news, article, post in a forum
app, ...
Thoses content are not aossociated to a binary content but more to severals
fields like paragraph, descritption, ...

Links are not Content, they are CmsObject


By this way, we can also link folders.

But, Folder has a collection of Contents

	public List getContents();

The javadocs don't explicity say what kind of obects are returned from 
getContents();

	/**
	 * Get the folder contents.
	 * @return a List of content which are located into this folder.
	 */

But since you use the word "content" i was assuming it was Content.
Links are not Content, they are CmsObject

David,

Here is the model : http://incubator.apache.org/graffito/class-diagrams.html
Link extends CmsObject by this way, you can create links on folder, content,
...

The contentModelService manages links.
