eXo JCR 1.11.2 released

Monday, July 27th, 2009

We pleased to announce next version of eXo JCR 1.x family. This is a bugfixes and improvements version of JCR 1.11.

Features and extensions.

eXo Platform JCR it’s an implementation of Java Content Repository API (JSR-170). Java Content Repository provides common programmatic interface to stores of hierarchical and unstructured data, content versioning, locking, observation, search (including full-text search), content export/import and many more.

In addition to JSR-170 features we provide Extension Actions API which allow use of programmatic actions triggering on content update or access. Actions can be configured via filters.

Plus you can find set of useful Extensions out of the box:

eXo JCR supports RMI, WebDAV and FTP network access to a repository.
Thanking to new version of eXo REST Framework (JSR-311 compliant) developers can write custom REST-driven access to the Repository. Node Representation service can be used as building block for this purpose. This is a pluggable mechanism for representing JCR Nodes in required form.

There are WebDAV plugins for access Repository from OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office applications.

Repository implementation uses database as a persistent storage for a content. We support Oracle, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Ingres, Derby and HSQLDB backends.

It’s possible to store content using External Value storage. Our implementation comes with several file-system storages (simple flat, tree-based, content-addressable). Value storage can be configured via filters to separate content using criterias.
External Value storage API allows develop custom storages e.g. for store data on type or in customer databases.

Additionally we’re supporting Amazon Web Services as a backend:

eXo MEA First Anniversary

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Last year, July 24th 2008, eXo Platform SAS opened a new branch in Tunisia: eXo Platform MEA. Since that time, the young branch have been growing.

Participating to the eXo adventure is very exciting and challenging for me and for all the Tunisian team.

Working with passionate and talented colleagues in different countries is very rewarding. I am very impressed by the sense of sharing of different eXo teams in France, Ukraine and Vietnam, who did not hesitate to help their new Tunisian colleagues.

During this first year, we tried to achieve a lot of objectives starting by setting up a talented team working on customer support, offshore and internal development and consulting. In August, the technical team will be composed of 10 engineers and we are still looking for talented and motivated people.

On the business side, we can say that eXo is recognized in the North African countries as a solid Open Source Alternative for Collaborative Portal and Enterprise Content Management solutions. The next step is to expand the business development to the Middle East countries, where lot of opportunities are waiting eXo!

All the Tunisian team is happy and proud to be part of the eXo boat!!!
