Sling based JCR Explorer

By shankha - JCRDev | Posted on 2009-12-29 04:58

You may already known about it, still I am mentioning this here.   I was going through the Apache Sling Site and found out that Sling itself is working on a prototype of a Sling Based JCR Explorer.   Being a JCR based CMS user / developer we all know that the JCR repository needs to be explored pretty often by us to find out if the nodes we are creating and the properties we are setting to those nodes are actually "working" or not. For that we generally use som

JCRDev has an edge

By nambuj - JCRLead | Posted on 2009-05-11 05:37

 When I browse through net, I get many articles which talk about JCR, CMIS, Jackrabbit, REST, etc; but when I look for a place where I can get all the information at a single place, I don’t get any. JCRDev provides the only platform where we can get all content under one umbrella. We can read experiences of developers from JCR world in Blog section while we can interact with them in Forums. News section updates on recent developments while Wiki gives an opportunity to create collab

It has now power to build a CMS solution with added Web 2.0 features. The recent mantra at Magnolia says "Simple Open Source Content Management", again it emphasizes on the word "simpl

By thaneshk - JCRLead | Posted on 2009-03-31 16:55

As we see many organizations in many industries "free fall", it is important to not only identify paths to continuous progression of entities to provide value for customers and profit for stakeholders but also for other participants to learn from mistakes made by others and retrospect in their own agenda and management. Organizations like the ones that exist in the auto industry are classic examples of non diversification of their assets and core competencies. Organizations like AIG and other in

My search for “Why Open Source” ended with an answer from Richard Stallman which goes as follows.     -   When we call software “free,” we mean that it respects the users'   essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes. This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of “free speech,” not “free beer.” Open source is inevitable. It’s ther
