Get A head of J2EE

More dynamic, less static, more runtime and less compiletime

GX WebManager is a J2EE Web application that embeds an OSGi framework runtime inside a Spring Web Application and is based on the Java Content Repository (JCR). It is designed to cope with the increasing demand for rapid changing feature sets and standard upgrades in the Web CMS marketplace. Demands for a marketplace where requirements for portability, manageability, maintainability and reduction of downtime are high. GX WebManager is where the J2EE market should be heading: more dynamic, less static, more runtime and less compiletime and, above all, thinking in components. The JCR is a great addition to such an architecture, because it promotes fast changing data models.



Development & SDK

Create your own form handlers, presentations, panels, elements, headless services, servlets and filters in Java and deploy them using Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi).

Transactions & Microapplications

Advanced forms out of the box? An open Application Programming Interface (API) to extend the standard connectors? Application Integration? Widgets, RSS feeds or SOAP-calls? Get started today!

Personalization

Set up personalization rules based on XSLT maintain them centrally and have the Business apply them to their content on different levels from pages and elements to sentences.


OSGi

When evaluating J2EE deployment models a conclusion one might draw is that a coarse-grained application-oriented deployment does not fit a component (or plugin) model very well. Since there is a difference between specifications and implementations, choosing an application server is not easy.  To cope with these issues within GX WebManager, the OSGi framework has been chosen to add the capability to manage the life cycle of the software components in the platform. Software components can be installed, updated, or removed on the fly without having to disrupt the operation of the platform.

Java Content Repository

The Content Repository for Java technology API ( JSR 170), a standard API to access content repositories in Java independently of the implementation, is at the heart of the GX WebManager platform. It’s there because you need to combine, in real-time, content from various software systems into one Website. Perhaps you want to migrate content from your legacy Web Content Management system to the new, or you may want to reuse existing content in the Web Content Management system for other purposes, or you may want to be able retrieve your content without being dependent on your vendor. Whichever way, you can benefit from the ecosystem of software components that can run on top of JCR.

Spring MVC

Spring is considered to be the leading application and integration platform for the Java platform. From that perspective, the choice of using the Spring MVC framework for the WebManager editorial environment is obvious. Spring is open source and a low-level framework. This makes it very flexible and easy to adapt to your needs. Since Spring is the leading application and integration framework, it is continuously enhanced and improved.  Spring knowledge is more valuable in the IT industry compared to less mainstream alternatives.

This paper explains in depth the reasons for and advantages of improving content repository interoperability and the how to meet the demands of business owners who want their business-critical content to be independent of their applications’ infrastructure. Enterprise Web Content Management advantages include cost considerations, for example, only having to maintain one repository which means lower support, administration and other on-going costs.
