How does ofbiz handle product images? That's a touch point with a CMS
repository. In the cart that I built (that I am not whatsover promoting
here), I would like to go to a full ERP... Anyway, in the system that I
built, the store manager would upload a product photo. This product
photo needed to be resized to difference sizes and stored on the
filesystem for future reference. I wanted a "asset library" here, in
which the product images would be stored, referenced and used. There's
a apache product out there called jackrabbit that would be good for this
(it's a content repository), just the repository, not the cms.
Same goes with pdf's and other specifications associated to a product.
If they are in a content repository, one can use them in the site also.
Imagine a 1/2 off weekend sale.
With my understanding of things, I would advocate migrating the content
(images, pdf's, etc) to jackrabbit using their api. Once in jackrabbit,
there are cms systems that can use jackrabbit as their backend so then
your assets can be used in your website.
