INDUSTRIALIZATION

Multi-site platform Site management interfaces

Quick Site Deployment

o Site Template

o Ad hoc Site

Code Sharing & Reuse Jahia Modules and now OSGi

Technical architecture Jahia Clustering & Scalability

KEY FEATURES

INDUSTRIALIZATION

Principles : Reuse and overloading Development only of the specific parts

In this platform, sites may be Master site and child sites

Ad Hoc Site for specific needs

Reuse everything Site = template + modules

Template = theme + page layouts

Modules = content object definitions (CND) + Views + Custom code

BUSINESS APPLICATIONS INTEGRATION

How to seamlessly integrate external apps and data sources ?

Agenda & Event

Associations directory

…

Many ways can be envisionned iFrame ?

Jahia Modules ?

Porlets ?

WCM / Portal should not bear business rules and complexity

Heavy Coupling

Evolution impacts on both sides

Redevelopment needed if solution changes … February 2014

THEORY

36JahiaOne

BUSINESS APPLICATIONS INTEGRATION

A common issue in integration projects

A simple and dedicated aggregation tool : ESI-GATE One prerequisite : HTTP

Simply call and merges block between providers

Technology agnostic, requires only ESI tags

Low Coupling

Lightweight portal, with some refinement Cache

Identity & authentication management

Block extraction

Smile initiated Open Source Project www.esigate.org

February 2014

ESI-GATE : A LOW COUPLING APPROACH

37JahiaOne

BUSINESS APPLICATIONS INTEGRATION

Block mode ESI Gate is in reverse

proxy

ESI Gate calls Jahia

Jahia render its page + ESI tags

ESI Gate fetches the business block

ESI Gate serves the merged page

For simple block aggregation

February 2014

ESI GATE INTEGRATION MODES

38JahiaOne

BUSINESS APPLICATIONS INTEGRATION

Template mode ESI Gate is in reverse proxy

ESI Gate calls the business app

The app render its content + ESI tags

ESI Gate fetches the Jahia wrapping content

ESI Gate serves the merged page

For business forms and advanced use cases
