In this platform, sites may be
 Master site and child sites
 Ad Hoc Site for specific needs
Reuse everything
 Site = template + modules
 Template = theme + page layouts
 Modules = content object definitions (CND) + Views + Custom code

THEORY

36. 36
BUSINESS APPLICATIONS INTEGRATION
A common issue in integration projects
A simple and dedicated aggregation tool : ESI-GATE
 One prerequisite : HTTP
 Simply call and merges block between providers
 Technology agnostic, requires only ESI tags
 Low Coupling
Lightweight portal, with some refinement
 Cache
 Identity & authentication management
 Block extraction
Smile initiated Open Source Project
 www.esigate.org

ESI-GATE : A LOW COUPLING APPROACH

37. 37
BUSINESS APPLICATIONS INTEGRATION
Block mode
 ESI Gate is in reverse proxy
 ESI Gate calls Jahia
 Jahia render its page + ESI tags
 ESI Gate fetches the business
block
 ESI Gate serves the merged
page
For simple block
aggregation
