Within a number of my projects we use Hippo to create a website. Hippo contains a JackRabbit repository that has capabilities for authenticating and authorizing users. Hippo builds on this functionality for its own security model. In most of these projects we create an integration component to store content in the repository from other systems […]
Basic Health check library for your application
For a few years now I have been running multiple Hippo projects. All the projects use multiple servers and services. The biggest one has over 15 servers in production. A standard hippo solution consists of site servers and cms servers. We also had some other servers for things like rss and integration. The complete landscape […]
Using the spring-data project and the mongodb adapter specifically
In this blog post I want to share some of my experiences with the spring-data project. At Orange11 we have been working on a sample for the Axon Framework. We have created the Axon Trader. For the trader we use the MongoDB based event store. Therefore I also wanted to store the data for the […]
Running Hippo CMS from Intellij
For a number of years we are doing hippo development using our beloved tool “Intellij”. We can import the project using the pom. Deploying from within Intellij was done using the maven provided jetty integration to run the cms. Then we would run the site in another tomcat or as well from maven with jetty. […]
Embedding RSS in Hippo using the pipelines feature
For one of the biggest Hippo projects I have been working on, we have created a custom rss solution. When we started the project, Hippo did not have an rss solution and we had some requirements for caching and reusability that we could not implement with standard hippo. A few years have passed and hippo […]
Gather content for Lucene from WordPress using Groovy

Cleaning up your maven repository
A few days a go I was looking at a warning that my disk was getting to full. I just upgraded to apple osx lion. There were a few things that were related to the upgrade, but another large directory was the maven repository directory. The easy way out is to just remove everything, but […]
Combining java and node.js
I just wrote a new blogpost about a sample application I have created. The sample is combining a node.js front-end application with a axonframework java based backend. The following image gives you a good idea. The front end contains a node.js application that uses the http library to obtain and send data a rest based […]
The new axon incubator and the google app engine project
Some time ago we started adding modules or classes to axon that were not really the core of the system. The most important one of them is a MongoDB based event store. The amount of testing of this module was not as high as the other parts. It has not yet been tested in a […]
Learning Node.js
For projects and for some experiments I want to get a better way to do server push. With the new HTML 5 becoming the standard and therefore WebSockets becoming available in all mayor browsers, it seems that WebSockets is the way forward. A very nice implementation of WebSockets that is backwards compatible with older browsers […]
