| − | = Introduction = | + | == The Home Library has been deprecated by the new [https://wiki.gcube-system.org/gcube/StorageHub_REST_API StorageHub Service] == |
| − | | + | Please use the StorageHub service for future developments: https://wiki.gcube-system.org/gcube/StorageHub_REST_API |
| − | The Home Library is a library to manage and persist the user home folder that supports file sharing. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Any Home Library user is presented with a personal [https://gcube.wiki.gcube-system.org/gcube/index.php/Workspace 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 to work on Jackrabbit content.
| + | |
| − | 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. Home Library 2.0 is 10 times faster on average in comparison with the previous version.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Home Library 2.0 is composed by:
| + | |
| − | * '''HomeLibrary''': the API interface.
| + | |
| − | * '''HomeLibrary JCR''': an HomeLibrary implementation based on JCR 2.0 (Java Content Repository [http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=283 JSR 283]).
| + | |
| − | * '''HomeLibrary WebApp''': a webService built on the top of the Jackrabbit web application.
| + | |
| − | * '''Home Library Model''': a library to shared information between clients and Web App. It includes ACLType, FolderItemType, NodeProperty, WorkspaceItemType, etc.

| − | == 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.

| − | Use the next section to migrate your components to the new Home Library API.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Compatibility==
| + | |
| − | There is some pattern to know to keep code compatible with new API.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If 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.

| − | == 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 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
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | = Using the Home Library =
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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>
| + | |
| − | </source>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == How to retrieve the user Home ==
| + | |
| − | Firs of all is necessary to retrieve an instance of '''HomeManagerFactory''', this can be done using the static methods from '''HomeLibrary''' class.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <source lang="java5">
| + | |
| − | HomeManagerFactory factory = HomeLibrary.getHomeManagerFactory();
| + | |
| − | </source>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Obtained the factory you can retrieve the HomeManager:
| + | |
| − | <source lang="java5">
| + | |
| − | HomeManager manager = factory.getHomeManager();
| + | |
| − | </source>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Then we retrieve the User home:
| + | |
| − | <source lang="java5">
| + | |
| − | User user = manager.createUser(portalLogin);
| + | |
| − | Home home = manager.getHome(user,scope);
| + | |
| − | </source>
| + | |
| − | Where ''portalLogin'' is the user username used to login into the portal (for test you can use any username) and ''scope'' can be a GCUBEScope object or a GCUBEScope expression (for test you can use any expression).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | At this point we can get the Workspace with his root:
| + | |
| − | <source lang="java5">
| + | |
| − | Workspace ws = home.getWorkspace();
| + | |
| − | WorkspaceFolder root = ws.getRoot();
| + | |
| − | </source>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Examples ==
| + | |
| − | === WorkspaceArea examples ===
| + | |
| − | ==== Create a generic item into a workspace folder ====
| + | |
| − | ==== Create a gCubeItem into a workspace folder ====
| + | |
| − | ==== Search by properties ====
