a cms on top of jackrabbit and extending jackrabbit

[Reza Ghaffaripour <Re...@hyro.com>]

Hi,

I am new to the concept of CMS and Jackrabbit. I was planning to create
an open source and specialized CMS for my offline media. I also decided
to be as much as possible in-dependent of the JSR and jackrabbit
interfaces and classes because they are almost new and change a lot. I
just wanted to know the best practices of using JSR/ Jackrabbit? Should
I extend Jackrabbit or just use it with some proxies/ associations? What
should be the degree of dependency to the JSR 170? 

Thanks

Hi,


What do you mean by extending Jackrabbit ?
Maybe the Jackrabbit OCM contrib (in subfolder contrib/jcr-mapping) can be a
great help. Using it, you can persist any kind of java objects into a JCR
repository like Jackrabbit. It can add more abstraction on the JCR API from
your business logic.

Last info, if you plan to build your own CMS, you should take a look at the
upcoming framework Sling.  (http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/ApacheSling).

br,
Christophe
