Package: zopyx.existdb
zopyx.existdbNoteThis moduleis nota replacement for the ZODB or any other Plone storage (never was, never will)is nota storage layer for Archetypes or Dexterity content (never was, never will)isa solution for mounting XML databases like eXist-db or
BaseX into Plone through their WebDAV portisan _experimental_ solution for mounting general WebDAV
services into Plonezopyx.existdbintegrates  Plone 4.3 and higher with
eXist-db providing the following features:mounts an arbitary eXist-db collection into PloneACE editor integrationZIP export from eXist-dbZIP import into eXist-dbpluggable view mechanism for configuring custom views for XML database
content by filename and view namecreate, rename or delete collections through the webextensible architecture through Plone Dexterity behaviorssupport for XQuery scripts called through the RESTXQ layer of eXist-db
(allows you to call XQuery scripts and return the output format (JSON,
HTML, XML) depending on your application requirements)dedicated per-connector logging facilitysmall and extensibleexperimental support for mounting arbitrary WebDAV service into Plone (set
the emulation mode towebdavin the eXist-db control panel of Plone)The primary usecase forzopyx.existdbis the integration of XML document
collections into Plone using eXist-db as storage layer.zopyx.existdbis
not storage layer for Plone content in the first place although it could be
used in some way for storing primary Plone content (or parts of the content)
inside eXist-db. There is no build-in support for mapping metadata as stored in
XML documents to Plone metadata or vice versa. However this could be
implemented easily in application specific code build on top ofzopyx.existdb. The design goal ofzopyx.existdbis to provide the basic
functionality for integrating Plone with eXist-db without implementing any
further specific application requirements.  Additional functionality can be
added through Dexterity behaviors, supplementary browser views, event lifecycle
subscribers and related technology.InstallationAddzopyx.existdbto theeggsandzcmloptions of your buildout
configuration, re-run buildout and install the connector through the add-ons
management of Plone.ConfigurationGoto the Plone control panel and click on theExist-DBconfiglet and
configure theeXist-db server url e.g.http://localhost:6080The eXist-db subpath/exist/webdav/dbwill be added internally.eXist-db usernameeXist-db passwordeXist-db emulation mode. Set the emulation mode towebdavfor the integration of
arbitrary WebDAV services.Using zopyx.existdbThe package provides a new content-typesConnectorthat will include
eXist-db into Plone - either from the top-level collection of your eXist-db
database or from a subcollection. You can browse and traverse into
subcollections, view single documents or edit text-ish content through the web
(using the build-in ACE editor integration).All connection settings (URL, username and password can be overriden on
the connector level) in order to ignore the Plone site-wide eXist-db
settings).NoteThis module provides a generic integration of arbitrary
WebDAV services like OwnCloud, BaseX (over WebDAV) or even other Plone
serves (exposed through the Plone WebDAV source port) with Plone.
This integration is highly experimental and not the primary purpose
ofzopyx.existdb. Use the functionality at your own risk.
In order to use this module together with WebDAV services other than the
XML database eXist-db: you have to set the emulation mode towebdavinside the eXist-db control panel of PloneLicenseThis package is published under the GNU Public License V2 (GPL 2)Source codeSeehttps://bitbucket.org/onkopedia/zopyx.existdbBugtrackerSeehttps://bitbucket.org/onkopedia/zopyx.existdbCreditsThe development ofzopyx.existdbwas funded as part of a customer project
