Hi Ofbiz Users,
Can someone advise on, what is plan for JCR/ Jackrabbit integration into Ofbiz, i understand there is a development branch --> jackrabbit20120501/ which currently has the latest work on this integration; Would like get the thoughts of the experts if there are any plans for integrating this branch into the ofbiz release branch in the near future, or if JCR/Jackrabbit integration is in the roadmap of Ofbiz. Appreciate any pointers on this Regards Sakthi |

Unfortunately since Sascha "left" the team in 2012 this effort stopped.
If you did not do it yet, you might find more information in the wiki https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Jackrabbit+Branch+Development https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Initial+integration+of+the+Jackrabbit+repository+-+features+and+architecture+description https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Configuration+document There is nothing planned about it yet, all good wills are welcome Jacques Le 24/02/2015 17:07, Sakthivel Vellingiri a écrit : > Hi Ofbiz Users, > > Can someone advise on, what is plan for JCR/ Jackrabbit integration into > Ofbiz, i understand there is a development branch --> jackrabbit20120501/ > which currently has the latest work on this integration; > > Would like get the thoughts of the experts if there are any plans for > integrating this branch into the ofbiz release branch in the near future, > or if JCR/Jackrabbit integration is in the roadmap of Ofbiz. > > Appreciate any pointers on this > > Regards > Sakthi > |

Hi Sakthivel,
Having collaborated with Sacha back in 2012 on this subject regarding multi-tenancy I believe it was at 80-90 % readiness. If not higher. It is however unfortunate that we don't do issues per development branch, otherwise it would have been registered/visible what needs to be done.

Yes, you are right Pierre, we should do that on request. Maybe it's not too late for Jackrabbit...

Although my lack of contribution skills makes the idea of me-merit
rather dubious, I feel obligated to chime in about my preference for a CMIS implementation over JSRs. Seems more language/vendor agnostic and possibly more future-proof. My merit is so dubious that I realize this might not even be what you're talking about. To me the amateur, Jackrabbit is a way to roll your own implementation of a CMS integration. If that's the same Jackrabbit you're talking about, please take a look at the Apache Chemistry project to discover (or recall) what I consider to be progress on that front.

Todd,
Thank you for your contribution. As it is with all open source projects, nothing won't happen unless someone starts doing. The JCR integration is 80-90% there, Cemistry just appeared (for the first time, if my memory doesn't fail).

I can appreciate where the devs are coming from. It is possible that
the OASIS-by-way-of-AIIM "standard" will not become anything big enough to bother implementing. CMIS has been making steady progress since 2008 (longer if you count the work AIIM had been doing on it). I wish I had stronger coding skills so I could walk the proverbial talk (or even better: I wish I was rich enough to pay an appropriate coder bounty). There are obviously plenty of people who use a JCR-compliant CMS solution and will continue with what is working for them, so finishing the remaining 10% or so of Jackrabbit integration has value for plenty of OFBIz users. I'm guessing that CMIS integration would offer value for even more users, so maybe it's a "one thing at a time" dev-ops consideration. In the Programming Languages section for the Jackrabbit project it says "Java." The Programming Languages section for the Chemistry project says "Java, Python, PHP, C#, Objective-C." That might not be meaningful, though, depending on the existing OFBiz framework and how Jackrabbit/CMIS would need to be implemented (server only or client-side interfaces as well). Like I said, I'm not exactly on the ball regarding the project's codebase. So, for the sake of crystal ball user gazing, would it be difficult to install a future OFBiz and then strip out components that the user doesn't anticipate needing? If I'm not mistaken that's one of the project's big selling points, the modularity.

I don't think that Chemistry and Jackrabbit are the same thing at all.
Chemistry is a CMIS tool-kit. Jackrabbit is a NoSQL database engine that can be used to build any application that fits into a node and link model. I think that Jackrabbit competes more directly with Mongo-DB. Chemistry is a higher level set of tools to build CMIS systems. http://chemistry.apache.org/java/developing/guide.html describes Chemistry as "CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Services) is a vendor-neutralOASIS Web services interface specification <http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=cmis>that enables interoperability between Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems. CMIS allows rich information to be shared across Internet protocols in vendor-neutral formats, among document systems, publishers and repositories, in a single enterprise and between companies." I think that OFBiz's entity-relationship model would not get much help from the CMIS tools. http://chemistry.apache.org/java/developing/repositories/dev-repositories-jcr.html talks about a bridge that allows Chemistry to access content stored in Jackrabbit. I use Jackrabbit for the Artifact ADTransform ETVL. Jackrabbit has the ability to use in-memory or disk storage configured at run-time. ADTransform uses the in-memory database configuration for speed but can be configured to use disks if the data streams are very large and will not fit in memory. OFBiz's entity database model could be implemented in Jackrabbit (or Mongo-DB) pretty comfortably. Another junior member's 2 cents.

Great information, thanks. I always thought Jackrabbit to be a JCR kind
of thing, didn't know it was a more generic DB kind of thing (mind you content repositories can be persisted using databases so maybe Jackrabbit is a "special use" kind of DB that offers the name-value pairs of a NoSQL-ish setup). I don't think the Chemistry project is for creating from scratch a CMIS-ready system as much as it's for enabling messaging-level interoperability between existing CMSs from various vendors (at least between those which bother to integrate CMIS-compliant interfaces). I think I'll join its ml for a while to learn more about the kinds of explosive compounds an amateur like me can create with such chemistry sets. Either way, I'm not skilled enough to help develop an OFBiz integration with Jackrabbit or CMIS. So I'll do the typical cop-out thing: thank contributors past & present for their efforts and hope that a day comes when part of OFBiz's marketing includes blah-blah about users being able to plug in any JCR-compliant or CMIS-compliant content repository of their choosing. Project gurus might even think about thinking about the whole pay-to-stream market, cater to all those aspiring web site retailers of both live streaming and VOD (no I'm not one nor do I work for one). Are OFBiz entities among the things that get stored within the embedded CMS? Is there anything OOTB that gets stored in some database which is separate and distinct from the database for storing CMS-specific stuff? I would appreciate a wiki URL or similar resource for learning more about these related topics (OFBiz persistence mechanisms and CMS whatnot).

An OFBiz entity is an abstracted model object (party, invoice, accounting transaction, product, manufacturing process, etc.) that is currently persisted in some sort of SQL database. OfBiz includes a CMS which is implemented in the same way as the other components - as entities persisted in SQL. Blocks of unstructured information is stored as SQL blobs.

Thanks all for valuable pointers and good discussion on Chemistry and JCR
As per Pierre, this effort is 80 to 90% complete, it will be nice to walk the last mile and complete this; I'm currently on Ofbiz 12.04 and would take a look at jackrabbit20120501/ if we manage to resolve the issues and take this effort to completion, is the community willing to make it part of the release branch?

Hi Sakthivel, all,
Like I said in this message http://ofbiz.markmail.org/message/j5zki633ffe64ll5 in a thread in the dev ml I am a proponent of any kind of OFBiz integration. If work will be done on the branch and we can show that it works with trunk, we can surely consider this.

There is now an "Experimental branch to integrate JackRabbit"

Thanks Jacques,
That means that now issues can be registered related to the JackRabbit integration and progress can be monitored. Just set the affected version to "JackRabbit' when registering issues.
