How to expose small pieces of app ?


• the iGoogle / NetVibes model sounds good

• There is an API for iGoogle (OpenSocial)

• An implementation of OpenSocial called Shindig is open source (Apache project)


Let’s see how it all fit together


Let’s see how it all fit together

Demo Time !


Technical specs

• 20 000 users

• about 15 000 unique visits a day (growing)

• runs on :

• 4 clustered JBoss server (NX 5.3.1++)

• 1 PostgreSQL DB


Our contributions

to Nuxeo


Opensocial integration

• Shindig integration as a single bundle

• Architecture to serve gadgets definitions

• Architecture to resolve space objects

• GWT container that shows gadgets in a space

• Some Opensocial gadgets


Opensocial integration

• Integrated in Nuxeo DM 5.3.1• Used for the dashboard• Used for other customer

projects (intranet portals)


Unit test Framework

• jUnit 4.x based with injection of Nuxeo Services provided by Guice

• Integrated / Enhanced by «chief» Bogdan

• Unit/Integration/Functionnal test framework on steroïds


#1 Homepage should show Application list#2 Click on a link should show the Help site

#3 The app logo should be rendered


Small samples


Benefits of contributing

• Known user of the community

• Integrated in architectural choices regarding Opensocial

• Some parts are enhanced (test framework) or checked thru code review

• Cooperation over Contractualisation


What’s next ?


GWT container drawbacks

• Everything as an OpenSocial gadget costs a lot

• JS overhead (about 40Ko/gadget)

• a HTTP request per gadget

• Layout manager based on presets

• Based on GWT-ext that is not a native GWT library


New GWT container

• GWT 2.x based with only native GWT

• much faster

• allows better hosted mode developpement


Native gadgets

HTML view

• No GWT needed (faster to render)

• Very useful for read-only spaces

• Opens the road to a full WYSIWYG site factory

Conclusion

• Contributing offers great opportunities

• We’re still on the road, evolving...

• Market place seems to be another channel to share our apps.
