The Home Library is a library to manage and persist the users homes. that supports file sharing
+
Home Library user is presented with a personal workspace, where users can collaborate, share information, and access project resources using special folders. This module describes the model of Home Library 2.0 and how to use the new API interface.
+
 
+
== Design Model ==
+
 
+
The '''design model''' for Home Library identifies a core set of capabilities that  ...
+
 
+
The Home Library is defined through an API interface ('''HomeLibrary''' project).
+
 
+
Currently there is just one API implementation:
+
* '''HomeLibraryJCR''': an HomeLibrary implementation based on JCR 2.0 (Java Content Repository [http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=283 JSR 283]).
+
 
+
The core of Home Library 2.0 is a webService build on the top of the Jackrabbit web application. The goal of Home Library 2.0 is to expose content in the content repository as HTTP resources, fostering a RESTful style of application architecture.
+

+
===Workspace Items===
+
 
+
Each element contained in a workspace area is a WorkspaceItem.The workspace items are the effective user objects.
+
 
+
The following figure shows the WorkspaceItem model.
+
[[File:areamodel.png]]
+
 
+
====Objects removed====
+
 
+
*AquaMapsItem
+
*Annotation
+
*DocumentLink
+
*ImageDocumentLink
+
*PDFDocumentLink
+
*Annotation
+
*TabularDataLink
+
*ExternalResourceLink
+
*WorkflowReport
+
*WorkflowTemplate
+
 
+
====Objects mapped to gCubeItem====
+
 
+
*Document
+
*ImageDocument
+
*Metadata
+
*PDFDocument
+
*UrlDocument
+
 
+
 
+
Use the next section to keep code compatible with both old and new API.
+
 
+
===Compatibility===
+
There is some pattern to know during the transition period to keep code base compatible with both old and new API.
+
 
+
If using old API you were working on Document, ImageDocument, Metadata, PDFDocument or UrlDocument, using new API your are going to work on GCubeItem that is a generic gCube Object.
+
 
+
But old context and model are still available using the following sections.
+
 
+
====Document====
+
 
+
New Home Library API to retrieve Document Objects:
+

<source lang="java">
+
import org.gcube.common.homelibrary.home.workspace.folder.items.gcube.Document;

Document document = (Document) item;
+
 
+
becomes:
+
 
+
import org.gcube.common.homelibary.model.items.type.NodeProperty;
+
import org.gcube.common.homelibrary.home.workspace.folder.items.GCubeItem;
+
 
+
GCubeItem document = (GCubeItem) item;
+
 
+
</source>
+
 
+

== Implementation Framework ==
+
 
+
The '''Home Library 2.0 API''' is a set of components that uses Apache Jackrabbit, to store and manage content.
+
 
+
Home Library 2.0 uses Java servlets to process HTTP requests in a RESTful way.
+
 
+
Home Library is implemented in terms of the JCR API. The default implementation for Apache Jackrabbit is provided out of the box.
+
 
+
Through code sharing, the framework reduces development costs and ensures the consistency and correctness of library implementations.
+
 
+
== Management Model ==
+
The core of Home Library 2.0 is a web application built on top of the content repository, Jackrabbit. Home Library WebApp uses Java servlets to process HTTP requests coming from clients.
+
The servlets are a frontend to the actual operations and they support the following operations:
+
*retrieve content
+
*create content
+
*modify existing content
+
*remove existing content
+
*move existing content to a new location
+
*copy existing content to a new location
+
Home Library Model is a simple object model used to shared information between clients and Web App. It includes ACLType, FolderItemType, NodeProperty, WorkspaceItemType, etc.
+
 
+
== How to ==
+
To use Home Library 2.0, import the following dependencies:
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<dependency>
+
<groupId>org.gcube.common</groupId>
+
<artifactId>home-library-jcr</artifactId>
+
<version>[2.0.0-SNAPSHOT,3.0.0-SNAPSHOT)</version>
+
</dependency>
+
+
<dependency>
+
<groupId>org.gcube.common</groupId>
+
<artifactId>home-library</artifactId>
+
<version>[2.0.0-SNAPSHOT,3.0.0-SNAPSHOT)</version>
+
</dependency>
