Hi Lsitha, Sorry for late reply, was out of internet. == About atom module You can find it here : http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lenya/contributions/2_0_X/modules/atom/ Add it into you build is about referencing this module in your local.build.property, or add this module into an already configured module folder. == About Chemistry Chemistry provide an CMIS implementation pluggable to any repository. Chemistry provide the CMIS stuff, the developer have to implement the glue between Chemistry classes and "in house" repository. == About repository Main classes and api about repository are here : http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lenya/branches/BRANCH_2_1_X/src/java/org/apache/lenya/cms/repository/ As you can see the api for the repository is not pretty well define and need rework. == How to proceed I think that a good plan, and an easy way to start, will be to first create the "glue" beetween chemistry and existing repository. Even if the actual one have no clear interface, it's work and this development will give you good ideas on limits and good points of this implementation. In a second step, you can then start designing a new repository api and implementation that can be plug behind chemistry. == About Spring From my point of view, Spring technologies is between IOC actually provided by avalon/excalibur [1] actually used in Lenya and OSGI technologies that are recent, powerfull and in the target for the future of Lenya. Still for me, I find Spring big, really verbose and no so maintainable (I don't have big spring experience though). Apart from that, Lenya already have an authentication / authorization mechanism that is pretty simple and configurable via the user interface or files. In order to have a good integration of the CMIS with Lenya I think we have to rely on that. Regards. [1] they are retired projects, but still core of the cocoon version used by Lenya : http://avalon.apache.org/closed.html http://excalibur.apache.org/ On 04/28/2013 06:53 AM, Lsitha Chamara wrote: > Hi Florent, > > What I understood is what I have to do is define generic api which can > be used by multiple module to access Lenya repository by using apache > chemistry.
