Hello,

I'm in a bit of a quandary and wanted to see what the community recommends. 
Basically, we have several sites running independently.  Some sites are
considered portals, which use some of the content from the independent sites
(but must keep the portal decoration / design when the content is used).  In a
previous rendition, we followed [shoved in?] our traditional relational model
(which lived in a centralized location /content/global//*) coupled with a
decorator pattern for displaying this content (meaning, we would have a single
template or "page", which an id or a path would be provided for the template
code to go and lookup the content and display).  This led to issues when the
user wanted to add unique taxonomy for each brand.  Also, the user is requiring
that we provide in-context editing, which doesn't work so well when using a
relational model in CRX (works well in a RDBMS obviously, but we lose the
flexibility of CRX).  The decorator pattern also requires that the URL contain
some way to look up the content from the other tree, which is kind of icky and
it seems that Sling / CQ wasn't indended to be used in this way.  The final
requirement for our business is that the users do not want to have to manage the
content that "appears" in the portals.  They just want the content to appear in
the portal, have complete control over the content (if they choose to) and also
have it automatically tagged with taxonomy (which we have already handled).

One benefit and failure of Sling / JCR is that there are so many ways to tackle
an issue.  We have gone through a variety of ideas / strategies and seems as
though they all have some sort of flaw or gotcha.  We are now to the point that
we are back to where we started (full circle :P ).  The current logic is to use
a push notification when new content is added to one of the independent sites
that the portal is subscribed to.  This would then either a) copy the data to
the portal tree or b) create new data with a referenceable node (so that updates
to the content will automatically appear in the portal).  We have also
considered nesting some sites under their respective portals.  Remember the
gotcha?  This makes it impossible (or at least hard) to have a single site under
multiple portals.

I'm not really sure if my question(s) belong in the Sling message board or here
as it seems to be a mix of both, but I figured here is a good place to start as
it's related to modeling.

1)  Should we be embracing the REST model here or should we stick to a
relational model since we are sharing content?  Perhaps store relational content
under /etc/domain//*?

2)  Would it be better to just make a copy of the data or use a referenceable
node?  Having the content under the portal makes it easier for us to aggregate
content from multiple brands using the built in query functionality.  But this
also leads to duplication of content which makes our already large repository
even larger.

3)  Have you seen any systems that are trying to use CQ / CRX in this way?

Respectfully,
John

hi,

afaik, on windows you need an additional tool such as netdrive[0] in
order to map a webdav mount point to a drive letter.

Hi,

I tried to assign CRX to a Win drive letter on a Win XP machine.
While I could connect to CRX, and I saw CRX's folder in the "Map Network
Drive..." dialog, I was unable to actually open one so it would be assigned to a
drive letter.

The doc describes in detail the steps for WebDAV
(http://dev.day.com/docs/en/crx/current/developing/accessing_the_crx.html#WebDAV\

Hi,

I'm having the same problem when installing JCR browser in the latest Eclipse
Gallileo.

I'm using CQ.HTTP.post to execute a synchronous call. It gets executed and
response gets set but no javascript response object gets returned.

This is my post call code:

var params = {};
params["pagePath"] = CQ.WCM.getPagePath();
var response = CQ.HTTP.post("/pages/validate",null, params);

After the post gets executed, the response variable is empty.

I have tried using CQ.HTTP.get and that returns the response object but i
wouldn't like to send all parameters in the query string, that's why i would
like to use post.

Could anyone advice?

Thanks.

Hi,

i am currently investigating how to implement a custom form-based
login page for my CRX 1.4.2 based application. I'm not sure how to
tackle this. After an initial search on the topic, I consider
implementing a servlet that performs the login using the static
methods provided by com.day.crx.j2ee.JCRExplorerServlet. More
precisely the servlet would

(1) use getCredentialsFromParam(...) to get the credentials from the
post parameters
(2) call login(...) to perform the login using the credentials from (1)

Is there a simpler way to perform the login (perhaps an out-of-the-box
solution).

Sven Schulz

Hi,

> How often does CRX do this?

it is based on the number of nodes that are indexed in a segment. but the larger
a segment gets, the less like it is that it will be optimized through merging
with other segments. the default configuration will trigger merging and
optimization of 10 index segments within a given range of segment sizes, which
are organized as buckets. these buckets contain segment sizes of 0-10, 11-100,
101-1k, 1k1-10k, etc. nodes.

whenever a bucket contains 10 segments, those segments are merged/optimized and
put into the appropriate bucket, which might trigger another merge/optmization
when the target bucket again contains 10 segments then.

> Are we missing a repository.xml parameter to enable this?

no, there is no such parameter.

I'm not sure about the exact process, but I think you should file a ticket on
daycare.day.com and describe the enhancement there.

  marcel

Thanks for your reply Marcel

How often does CRX do this? Although the process of optimising manually isn't a
long one it did reduce our index files from 20GB to 7GB which made us think it
wasn't something CRX managed. Are we missing a repository.xml parameter to
enable this?

The optimisation we have done has had a major performance benefit for one of our
apps that performs a lot of vertical slices through lucene based queries under
substantial load (much lower disk I/O). We are also running CRX in 64bit so the
optimisation has helped greatly in being able to allocate enough heap for CRX to
keep it's index hot.

Can we make a formal request to add a link to trigger the Lucene optimisation
from the CRX explorer console? ... Or something from the command line if CRX
needs to shutdown...?

Thanks
Shaun

Hi,

CRX already optimizes index segments in a generational manner. but there is
currently no way to trigger this manually. Users of Jackrabbit also suggested
this kind of enhancement [0], but no work has been done into that direction so

Hi

We are currently manually optimising our lucene indexes on our local CRX nodes
with a tool called Luke (version 0.7.1). We would like to automate this process
e.g. through an API exposed by CRX but haven't come across any strategies for
doing so in the CRX documentation.

Has anyone implemented a solution for this or have some ideas on how we could
automate this?

Cheers
Shaun

Thanks Raphael.

It works perfectly.

Hi,

Finally I manage to get the plugin installed. A friend who install the plugin in
his IDE a few weeks ago send me a copy of the whole Eclipse installation, ;-D.

hi,

you can use CQ.HTTP.get() (or CQ.HTTP.post() without specifying a
callback. this will send a synchronous request and return the response

Per a requirement, i need a synchronous ajax call to execute some server side
validation. I know Ext has a library called basex that allows that. I wonder if
we have the same functionality in CQ.Ext?

If so, could you please post an example?

Thanks.

Dear CRX Users

We've quickly checked that on our side (at Day), and we could not
reproduce the problem.

Did someone have such a problem and hopefully a solution to that?

Hi all,

I’m trying to install the CRX feature (JCR browser) in the latest version of
Eclipse IDE (Galileo) following the instructions in this web:

http://www.day.com/eclipse/

When I try the installation with the “Help->Install new Software” menu I
have this error:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed

   session context was:(profile=epp.package.jee,
phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.phases.Collect,

   Problems downloading artifact: osgi.bundle,com.day.crx.eclipse.rmi,1.2.2.

     MD5 hash is not as expected. Expected: 0871bf053af1fa3a6d28ad2e13998da2 and
found d2558ebf30510095a4f11eddedef7505.

   Problems downloading artifact:
osgi.bundle,com.day.crx.eclipse.rmi.crx12,1.0.2.

     MD5 hash is not as expected. Expected: cf48088452149880588a3fd85e26c0d8 and

.
.
.


It's seems that the MD5 validation is failing.
Maybe I'm using a wrong URL pointing to an old version?
The URL I'm using is: http://www.day.com/eclipse




And when I try the manual install I cannot see the new feature installed.

My question is:


Has anyone the same problem?
Does the plugin support the latest version of Eclipse?
If yes, How can I install it?



I have the plugin installed in the previous Eclipse version (Ganymede) with no
problem.



Thanks

Agus

Hi Brandon

CRX itself does not have a UI / or CLI tool to perform search&replace.

If CQ5 find&replace mentioned below would not fit your needs, you can
always write a simple (as simple as you can make it for your use case
that is ;) JCR program to perform the necessary refactoring. From our
own experience (managing our own web properties, which run on CRX
repository), a fairly easy & quick way to do it is to use Sling
scripts (in your preferred scripting language).

Regards
Greg
