Nuxeo EP 5 ECM Stack

Provides generic ECM services on top of Nuxeo Core

Services are loosely coupled and can be used independently

Most services provide 2 types of access

Local API: POJO

Remote API: EJB3

Service location is transparent via Nuxeo API

Framework.getService()

Services stack can be split on several JVMs

Platform layout can be configured via XML

Nuxeo Service – design pattern OSGi Component EJB3 Facade Document Model Seam Component Configuration via Extension Points Pluggable implementation JEE integration layer (JTA, JAAS, State Management) Remoting Service API to Document API mapping Manipulate Nuxeo Services as Seam native components Service Plugins Plugins Plugins Service interface Adapter @Unwrap
