Mobile ECM: Using the Nuxeo Platform from mobile devices

Mobile ECMusing the Nuxeo Platform from mobile devicesThierry Delprat 1

Nuxeo and mobile devices 2

Our approach● Web based applications are OK for viewing content, but ● not very practical for updating content ● off-line capabilities are very limited● Native mobile applications are great ● leverage efficient local storage ● allow for real off-line management ● leverage UI and usability of the target platform➔ We want to provide a SDK to develop mobile applications ● using Nuxeo content services ● leveraging Nuxeo Studio configuration possibilities 3

Target SDK● we target both iOS and Android ● native Objective C iOS SDK ● native Android Java SDK Nuxeo DM Nuxeo Studio 4

Other paths● HTML 5 ● make Nuxeo web UI more Smartphone friendly● Flash 4.5 ● upgrade the Flex connector – align on latest GraniteDS ● support for Flash 4.5 – runs on iOS and Android ➔ potential option for multi-platform solution 5

Mobile SDK principles 12

Nuxeo Automation Client● Nuxeo Automation offers several advantages ● easy to use in any language – http + JSON ● fast and efficient for Web Service access – fast parsing marshaling – small network footprint – push logic server side and avoid multiple round-trips ● easy to extend – use Nuxeo Studio to define operation chains – use Nuxeo IDE to create new operations 13

Nuxeo Automation Client➔ Mobile SDK includes an Automation Client Nuxeo Service A Nuxeo Component Doc Operations Plugin Plugin Plugin Nuxeo Service B Mobile Files Operations Connector Nuxeo Component http JAX-RS chain chain Automation Publisher chain Plugin Plugin Plugin Client WF Operations WebEngine Nuxeo Service C Nuxeo Component JAX-RS Users Operations Plugin Plugin Plugin (jersey) Nuxeo Service D contribute Nuxeo Component Mobile contribute Plugin Plugin Plugin Device Nuxeo Server Nuxeo Studio Nuxeo IDE 14

Mobile connectivity● Need to address network issues ● slow network ● disconnected mode ● off-line update ● conflict resolution➔ Extend Automation client scope ● add caching ● add local transient storage ● add deferred update management ● add sync system 15

Off-line support WRITE Deferred updates Sync Transient store READ Response cache Local DB Mobile device 16

Document Lists● Most of the documents you need to access from a mobile device can be managed by lists Documents to validate Content of InboxWorklist orclipboard My Documents 17 Saved search

Document Lists● SDK proposes an abstraction on DocumentsLists ● List definition – Name – Source operation – Update operation – Create operation ● Lazy fetching ● Off-line management – transparently integrate cache, deferred update manager … ● UI adapters 18

Form management● Forms are defined on the server side ● using the Layout service ● via Nuxeo Studio ● via XML contributions● Reuse the Layout definition on the mobile side ● via JSON export ● with simple mapping ● with automatic adaptations ● keep possibility to have mobile specific layouts 19

Nuxeo Android SDK 20

Nuxeo and Android● First Android Client done in March ● Automation client for Android SDK ● Simple cache for off-line browsing ● Sample App : Nuxeo Android Client – based on Automation Client – using Droid4Me framework● Just started a real Nuxeo Android SDK ● with full scope (Read/Write off-line) ● layout support 21

Getting Android SDK● Source code ● https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo-android – nuxeo-android-connector-ui : reusable UI blocks – nuxeo-android-connector : connector – nuxeo-automation-sample : sample code – nuxeo-automation-browse-test : non-reg tests – nuxeo-appraisal-client : sample Studio Content Application● Documentation ● http://doc.nuxeo.com/x/LIOE 23

Next steps● release 1.0 in a few weeks ● more sample applications ● polish API and documentation ● add support for Actions system● provide support for Droid4Me● integrate with native Google sync system● integrate push (C2DM ?) 24

Thank you! 25
