Build content centric apps with eclipse and nuxeo - ny java-sig november 2011
- 1. NYJavaSIG Introducing Apricot and Nuxeo IDE Build Content-centric applications with Eclipse and Nuxeo Olivier Grisel, R&D Engineer, Nuxeo, ogrisel@nuxeo.com https://twitter.com/ogrisel 2011-11-16
- 2. Agenda • What Is a Content Repository? • Eclipse Apricot: Features & Benefits • Apricot Modularity • The Future of Apricot • Developing with Nuxeo/Apricot • Demo NYJavaSIG 2
- 3. What Is a Content Repository? NYJavaSIG 3
- 4. What Is Content? • Everything is content! • Unstructured • Files, Images, Assets, XML, Binary streams • Structured • Schema, Metadata, Business Data, Tables • Semi-Structured • Files + Metadata, Web pages (assemblies, relations), Emails (attachments), Record Management NYJavaSIG 4
- 5. A Content Repository is Middleware • Between Application and Storage Subsystem • Does not replace either • Persistence Service • Stores structured and unstructured content • High-Level Abstraction • Stop caring about storage details • Focus on your domain model and its objects NYJavaSIG 5
- 6. What a Content Repository Is Not • Not a CMS (WCM, ECM, ...) • A CMS is one application on top of a Content Repository • Not a filesystem • If all you have is a filesystem, everything looks like a file • Not an ORM • Not that granular, don’t think in SQL terms • Not just for storage • Provides Services, Domain Model / Business Model NYJavaSIG 6
- 8. Eclipse Apricot • OSGi framework • Under the Eclipse Runtime project • Currently in the Incubation phase • Mentored by Gary Xue (Actuate) and Cédric Brun (Obeo) • Contributed by Nuxeo, from Nuxeo Core • http://www.eclipse.org/apricot NYJavaSIG 8
- 9. What Is Apricot? • Content Repository • Lightweight Web Framework • Content Automation • CMIS NYJavaSIG 9
- 10. Content Repository • Content Model (Types and Schema definition) • Queries (NXQL, CMISQL, pluggable) • Versioning (pluggable) • Locking (synchronous, cluster-aware) • Access Control (groups, grant/deny, inheritance) • Proxies (shortcuts) • Events & Listeners (sync, async, async post-commit) • Audit Trail NYJavaSIG 10
- 11. Lightweight Web Framework • Build content-centric Web Applications • Expose content on the web • Fast framework based on JAX-RS • Provides FreeMarker templating (pluggable) NYJavaSIG 11
- 12. Content Automation • Based on Commands/Operations • Build reusable business logic • Accessible from UI frameworks and HTTP/JSON • 120+ operations, extendable • Chainable: reduce RPC roundtrips NYJavaSIG 12
- 13. CMIS • OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services • HTTP APIs (SOAP, AtomPub, Browser Bindings) • Java APIs (OpenCMIS) • http://docs.oasis-open.org/cmis/CMIS/v1.0/cmis- spec-v1.0.html • http://www.slideshare.net/efge/cmis-and-apache- chemistry-apachecon-2010 NYJavaSIG 13
- 14. HTTP (CMIS) HTTP OpenCMIS Java OpenCMIS Automation API Native Java API Core Services VCS Binary Store SQL Backend Other Backend Filesystem SQL Database Cloud NYJavaSIG 14
- 15. Batt le T este When to Use Apricot? d • Need to store Objects with Properties • And also Files • Don’t want to write SQL • But be able to fall back to SQL if really needed • Need Access Control • Need Versioning, Queries, ... • Don’t want to reinvent the wheel NYJavaSIG 15
- 16. Battle Tested? • Originates from Nuxeo Core • Used in all the Nuxeo Platform • (Document Management, Digital Asset Management, Case Management & other content-centric apps) • In production for 4 years • Thousands of deployments NYJavaSIG 16
- 17. Why Is Apricot Good? • Modular: OSGi & Extension Points • Fast: Caching, Optimized ACL with Stored Procs • Safe: Transactional + Hot backups • Scales: Leverage SQL clusters, Lockless pluggable binary store (FS, SQL, S3...) NYJavaSIG 17
- 19. Choosing a Modularity Framework • Java SE • No bundle life cycle, no modularity, no extension system • Java EE • All is packaged as one big application (EAR or WAR), cannot update or add a feature without recompiling the entire application • OSGi — yes, but... NYJavaSIG 19
- 20. Additions Needed to OSGi • To achieve a plugin model • Eclipse already had the answer: extension points • To provide enterprise features • No real OSGi Enterprise Framework implementations yet NYJavaSIG 20
- 21. Integrating with Java EE • Apricot should be able to run in an Application Server (as a WAR) • Java EE configuration is monolithic • To declare servlets (web.xml) one must know in advance the servlets provided by all the different bundles, same for application.xml • Apricot is dynamic: bundles may be installed at runtime • Java EE components declared by bundles must be installed at runtime NYJavaSIG 21
- 22. Java EE Features • Full OSGi integration of JAAS (authentication system) • Full JTA support through Apache Geronimo (transactions) • Full JCA support through Apache Geronimo (resource adapters and pooling) • In-memory JNDI server • Future plans to integrate the work done in the Gemini project (and also support Virgo) NYJavaSIG 22
- 23. The Future of Apricot NYJavaSIG 23
- 24. Where Are We Going? • Finish Apricot first release • Cleanup, testing framework • Replace Nuxeo Core with Apricot • Nuxeo Core running under a full OSGi container • Bridge for non-OSGi application servers • Leverage Declarative Services NYJavaSIG 24
- 25. Developing Content- Centric Apps with Nuxeo NYJavaSIG 25
- 26. What Is Nuxeo Studio? A Customization Environment as a Service, Studio manages for developers: • custom metadata, • custom document types and templates, • content lifecycle and workflows, • content views, • content automation, • application branding • and much more. NYJavaSIG 26
- 27. What Is Nuxeo IDE? An Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developers using the Nuxeo Platform / Apricot. • Hot Reload • Automated dependency management • Templates and Wizards • Integration of Nuxeo Shell • Automated dependency management • Deployment profiles • Code/Resource completion • Sync. with Nuxeo Studio NYJavaSIG 27

Editor's Notes
- \n
- \n
- \n
- \n
- Middleware: Defines domain model and services - used by the application - persisted in the storage\nPersistence Service: Is to semi-structured content what Hibernate is to objects with properties\nHigh-Level Abstraction: Abstract operations, Let the Content Repository do its job\n
- Not a Filesystem: A Content Repository offers much richer semantics\nMetadata, Versioning, Relationships, Non-path-based access\nNot an ORM: Content comes before relations and optimizations; Don’t limit yourself to SQL\n
- \n
- \n
- Full-featured services: Queries (NXQL, CMISQL, pluggable), Versioning (pluggable), Locking (synchronous, cluster-aware), Access Control (groups, grant/deny, inheritance), Proxies (shortcuts), Events & Listeners (sync, async, async post-commit), Audit Trail\n
