Publication in Jigsaw
This page describes how to setup an editable space under Jigsaw.
Today most of the authoring tools allows you to use the PUT method of HTTP
to publish a document on a web server.
In the following configuration, the editable URL will be http://your-server-host/publications.
The tutorial will go through the following steps:
-
Configuring a PUT indexer
-
Configuring the editable space
Configuring a PUT indexer
NOTE: Since Jigsaw2.0beta3, there is a put-indexer already
configured in the distribution.
First, read the indexer documentation. When
you are more familiar with indexers you can go through the following steps:
1) Create the indexer, called it put-indexer for example.
In this case the ContentTypeIndexer
is the most appropriate indexer class to choose.
2) The put-indexer has three nodes: content-types,
directories and extensions.
-
content-types define some relations between mime types and resources.
This is used when the PUT request has a Content-Type Header. If
the Content-Type header is text/html then the resource
called text:html will be the template to use for the new created
resource. The template resource text:html must be a FileResource
associated to an HTTPFrame
with its Putable flag set to on and of course a Content
Type set to text/html.

-
directories is used to index files matching exactly a name, mainly
used to index directories. In this configuration every subdirectories will
be indexed as a DirectoryResource
associated to an HTTPFrame
with its Putable flag set to on.

-
extensions is used to index files with a specific extension. For
example, "html" is a FileResource
with an HTTPFrame
set to give the "text/html" content type to this file (Putable
flag set to on).

NOTE: Don't forget to set all Putable flag to on
(in associated HTTPFrame).
3) Save your configuration, your new put-indexer is
ready.
Configuring the editable space
We choose publications as our editable directory.
1) Create the directory <instdir>/Jigsaw/Jigsaw/WWW/publications.
2) Open a JigAdmin window (see JigAdmin
documentation).
3) Create the publications resource. It should be created
automatically by the default indexer, it should be a DirectoryResource
associated to an HTTPFrame
(but you can use a PassDirectory
with an HTTPFrame).
4) Set the putable flag of the HTTPFrame associated to publications
to on. Don't forget to commit your changes.
5) Set the put-indexer as the current indexer. Commit
your changes.
6) Save your configuration, now you can PUT some new documents
(and some new directories) in http://your-server-host/publications/
, enjoy!
