Hippo with Nuxeo Integration- Display External document on site

[sehgal.h...@gmail.com]

Hi 

This is in reference to my previous post, which dealt with Hippo Nuxeo  integration

http://www.onehippo.org/library/about/cms-forums.html?place=msg%2Fhippo-community%2FOJNRuJngmNI%2FZL9GCxB6EAAJ

We succeeded in hitting the web service and getting the list of assets from Nuxeo into the external document picker in Hippo CMS, but were unable to Display the same content on website post publish. How to map the field in ftl/jsp? 

Also in case of images we would like to save the docbytes in the CMS itself.

Really stuck!! Please  Help!!! 

Also their is no mapping of the field in the Bean of the document.

Thanks in advance

 I would also like to add that we need to hit another web service on selection of the image from Nuxeo. any pointers for that?

How do you store the selected data (from Nuxeo) in hippo document? Do
you store it in a property? Can you specify it with an example?

Hey Woonsan

Right now we just implemented the steps listed in the test suite. This basically was the question, Where and how to store the images, ie. what would be the best practice to do so.

 For Convenience the problem can be broken into following parts:

1.we needed to call the web-service delivering icons and short description on click of browse button(Thanks to you, we implemented this step in no time).

2. need to call 2nd web service giving us the doc bytes of the image(? pending :( ) 

3. Need to store the image in the document so that it could be displayed on the website.(? STUCK).

please help.

Thanks in advance

One easy solution might be to store the image download URL from Nuxeo
in the document, not the whole binary data in hippo document.
So, in the delivery tier, you can simply render the URL as image source.

but that would require firing authentication parameters everytime. any other suggestions?

PS: You have been a great mentor. Will be forever indebted to you.

I don't have an expertise in Nuxeo, so I don't know how to grant
access to those image resources without authentication, which I
thought could be an easy solution.

Anyway, if it doesn't work and If you need to deal with only small
size of icons and images from Nuxeo, then you might want to pursue
these instead:
- When user select an image resource in Nuxeo and when you are to save
the selection(s), you can store the binary data into
/content/gallery/${myhippoproject}/... by creating folders and nodes
in your specific rules (e.g,
/content/gallery/myhippoproject/dms/ca/fe/cafe-babe-....png*). You can
use JCR API to store the nodes, mimicking how Hippo default image
gallery nodes are stored.
- And, store the gallery image set node UUID into the document
property (instead of nuxeo url).
- Then, your image link generation will be the same as normal hippo
gallery image by using <@hst.link hippobean=document.dmsImage/> for
instance.

Another approach is, if the amount of images from Nuxeo is limited, to
use Hippo CMIS Replication forge module [1], which simply replicates
Nuxeo docs such as pdfs to hippo asset folder periodically. I haven't
tried with images, but images can be treated as an asset (without
thumbnail support in assets though) and so it can be generated to link
like above easily, too. But in this case, users need to select an
asset in hippo instead of Nuxeo directly.

So, it's up to you and depends on your requirements.

HTH,
