Update for Magnolia 5 series
Requires Magnolia 5.1
new ways of building dialogs
availability annotation

19. 19
Dialogs

20. Fluent Builder-style API
!
@TabFactory("Content")
public void contentTab(UiConfig cfg, TabBuilder tab) {
tab.fields(
cfg.fields.text("heading").label("Heading"),
cfg.fields.richText("body").label("Text body"),
cfg.fields.websiteLink("categoryLink").label("Link"),
cfg.fields.basicUpload("image").label("Image"),
cfg.fields.checkbox("inlineImage").label("Inline Image")
);
}
20

21. Dialogs and the Class Hierarchy
public abstract class BasePageTemplate {
@TabFactory("Meta")
public void metaTab(UiConfig cfg, TabBuilder tab) {
tab.fields(
cfg.fields.text("metaAuthor").label("Author"),
cfg.fields.text("metaKeywords").label("Keywords"),
cfg.fields.text("metaDescription").label("Description")
);
}
}
21

22. Input Validation
...
public void contentTab(UiConfig cfg, TabBuilder tab) {
tab.fields(
cfg.fields.text("name").label("Name").required(),
cfg.fields.text("email").label("Email")
.validator(cfg.validators.email())
);
}
...
22

23. Dynamic Dialog
!
!
@Template(id="myModule:components/bookCategory", title="Book category")
@TemplateDescription("A list of books in a given category.")
@Controller
public class BookCategoryComponent {
@Autowired
private SalesApplicationWebService service;
@RequestMapping("/bookcategory")
public String render(Node content, ModelMap model) throws RepositoryException {
String category = content.getProperty("category").getString();
model.put("books", service.getBooksInCategory(category));
return "components/bookCategory";
}
@TabFactory("Content")
public void contentTab(UiConfig cfg, TabBuilder tab) {
Collection<String> categories = service.getBookCategories();
tab.fields(
cfg.fields.select("category").label("Category").options(categories)
);
}
}
23

24. Dynamic Dialog
!
@Template(id="myModule:components/bookCategory", title="Book category")
@TemplateDescription("A list of books in a given category.")
@Controller
public class BookCategoryComponent {
@Autowired
private SalesApplicationWebService service;
@RequestMapping("/bookcategory")
public String render(Node content, ModelMap model) throws RepositoryException {
String category = content.getProperty("category").getString();
model.put("books", service.getBooksInCategory(category));
return "components/bookCategory";
}
@TabFactory("Content")
public void contentTab(UiConfig cfg, TabBuilder tab) {
Collection<String> categories = service.getBookCategories();
tab.fields(
cfg.fields.select("category").label("Category").options(categories)
);
}
}
24

25. @AvailableComponentClasses
25

26. Components Availability
!
@ComponentCategory
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
public @interface Banner { }
!
@Area("banners")
@AvailableComponentClasses({Banner.class})
@Controller
public class BannersArea {
…
}
!
@Banner
@Template(id="myModule:components/largePromoBanner"), title="Large banner”)
@Controller("banner")
public class LargePromoBannerComponent {
…
}
26

27. @More

28. Content, content, more content
!
@Template(id="myModule:components/bookCategory", title="Book category")
@TemplateDescription("A list of books in a given category.")
@Controller
public class BookCategoryComponent {
@Autowired
private SalesApplicationWebService service;
@RequestMapping("/bookcategory")
public String render(Node content, ModelMap model) throws RepositoryException {
String category = content.getProperty("category").getString();
model.put("books", service.getBooksInCategory(category));
return "components/bookCategory";
}
@TabFactory("Content")
public void contentTab(UiConfig cfg, TabBuilder tab) {
Collection<String> categories = service.getBookCategories();
tab.fields(
cfg.fields.select("category").label("Category").options(categories)
);

35. How would I build a REST interface to my CMS
content using Blossom?
35

36. REST servlet in module descriptor
<servlets>
<servlet>
<name>rest</name>
<class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</class>
<mappings>
<mapping>/rest/*</mapping>
</mappings>
<params>
<param>
<name>contextConfigLocation</name>
<value>classpath:/rest-servlet.xml</value>
</param>
</params>
</servlet>
</servlets>
36

37. REST Controller
@Controller
public class ProductsRestController {
!
@RequestMapping("/products/{productId}")
public Product findProduct(@PathVariable String productId) {
// implementation omitted
}
}
37

38. Can I leverage Magnolia's caching functionality
to improve the performance of my Spring app?
38

39. Influencing caching 39
@Controller
@Template(title="Text", id="myModule:components/text")
public class TextComponent {
!
@RequestMapping("/text")
public String render(HttpResponse response) {
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
return "components/text.jsp";
}
}

40. How can I present dialogs in different languages
using Blossom?
40

41. !
@Controller
@Template(title = "Text", id = "blossomSampleModule:components/text")
@I18nBasename("info.magnolia.blossom.sample.messages")
public class TextComponent {
!
@TabFactory("textComponent.contentTab.label")
public void contentTab(UiConfig cfg, TabBuilder tab) {
tab.fields(
cfg.fields.text("heading").label("textComponent.contentTab.heading")
);
}
}
41I18n Blossom Dialog

42. !
!
/info/magnolia/blossom/sample/messages_en.properties
textComponent.contentTab.label = Content
textComponent.contentTab.heading = Heading
!
!
!
/info/magnolia/blossom/sample/messages_sv.properties
textComponent.contentTab.label = Innehåll
textComponent.contentTab.heading = Rubrik
!

43. How do I migrate my existing site to Magnolia/
Blossom?
43

44. How can I integrate Spring Security?
44

45. 45

46. How can I dependency inject spring beans into
RenderingModels?
46

47. Autowired RenderingModel
public class MyRenderingModel extends RenderingModelImpl<TemplateDefinition> {
!
@Autowired
private MyService service;
!
public MyRenderingModel(ServletContext servletContext, Node content, TemplateDefinition definition, RenderingModel<?> p
super(content, definition, parent);
WebApplicationContext wac = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
AutowireCapableBeanFactory beanFactory = wac.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory();
beanFactory.autowireBean(this);
}
47

48. Autowired RenderingModel
!
public class MyRenderingModel extends AbstractAutowiredRenderingModel<TemplateDefinition> {
!
@Autowired
private MyService service;
!
public MyRenderingModel(ServletContext servletContext, Node content, TemplateDefinition definition, RenderingModel<?>
super(content, definition, parent, servletContext);
}
!
!

49. Views 49

50. Rendering an Area
FreeMarker
[@cms.area name="main" /]
!
JSP
<cms:area name="main" />

51. Rendering Components in an Area
FreeMarker
[#list components as component]
[@cms.component content=component /]
[/#list]
!
JSP

52. Page Template Availability
@Controller
@Template(title="Article", id="myModule:/pages/article")
public class ArticleTemplate {
...
@Available
public boolean isAvailable(Node node) {
return node.getPath().startsWith("/articles/");
}
}
52

53. Available Components
@Controller
@Area("promos")
@AvailableComponentClasses({TextComponent.class,
ShoppingCartComponent.class})
public static class PromosArea {
@RequestMapping("/main/promos")
public String render() {
return "areas/promos";
}
}
53

54. Area Inheritance
@Controller
@Area("promos")
@Inherits
@AvailableComponentClasses({TextComponent.class,
ShoppingCartComponent.class})
public static class PromosArea {
@RequestMapping("/main/promos")
public String render() {
return "areas/promos";
}
}
54

55. Form Submission
/* Standard annotations omitted */
public class ContactFormComponent {
@RequestMapping(value="/contact", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String viewForm(@ModelAttribute ContactForm contactForm) {
return "components/contactForm";
}
@RequestMapping(value="/contact", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String handleSubmit(@ModelAttribute ContactForm contactForm,
BindingResult result) {
new ContactFormValidator().validate(contactForm, result);
if (result.hasErrors()) {
return "components/contactForm";
}
return "redirect:/home/contact/thankyou.html";
}
