Abstract

Customizing Web Applications is complex and result in possible complications when upgrading. The Web Content Management system 'GX WebManager' offers WebManager Component Bundles (WCBs): a new plug-in system for adding custom functionality runtime to the Web Application. WCBs consist of three, open source and open standards based technologies: Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi), Java Content Repository (JCR) and Spring Model View Controller MVC). In this demonstration we will show how to build and deploy a WCB based on an archetype and elaborate on the various forms of applications. The goal is to allow developers to easily create custom web applications plug-ins and share their application with the community on the one hand, and provide a library of custom functionalities for online business owners.
