Integrating OpenBlueLab and Alfresco
Alfresco features
I just take it, install and play with it a few hours. Very surprising and promising.
Alfresco is document oriented and provides a lot of features about document management. Last release (2.1) provides features about web content management too.
But Alfresco doesn't provide data management, useful to manage accounting, stock or production data. It is the point where OpenBlueLab shines, thanks to its MDA approach which uses UML to design data structure and relationships. Moreover, UML permits to generate code for biz rules.
OpenBlueLab Integration
From OBL meta model, it is easy to generate RelaxNG schemas, which can be transformed in xsd schemas then in xforms by chiba engine, through the Schema2xsd program.
Moreover, OBL provides a complete UML tool to design your domain model. Based on Eclipse, OBL Developer Studio permits to create :
- Use Case Diagrams
- Class Diagrams
For the moment, only Class diagrams will be integrated in Alfresco.
UML Tools
An "Enterprise Architect" connector is also available. Developing new connectors is a matter of hours. Don't hesitate to ask for help in the forums or in the mailing lists.
