Description: xmldirector.plonecore
        =====================
        
        .. note:: This module  
        
          - *is* a solution for mounting XML databases like eXist-db or
            BaseX into Plone through their WebDAV port
          - *is* a solution for construction Dexterity content-types programmatically
            or through-the-web with XML related fields where the content is stored
            in BaseX or eXist-db
          - *is* an _experimental_ solution for mounting general WebDAV 
            services into Plone
          - *is not* a replacement for the ZODB 
        
        ``xmldirector.plonecore`` is the technical foundation of the XML-Director
        project (www.xml-director.info). The goal of the XML-Director project is
        building an enterprise-level XML content management system on top of the CMS
        Plone (www.plone.org) with support for XML databases like eXis-db or Base-X.
        However the underlaying implementation can also be used to mount arbitrary
        backend through WebDAV into Plone.
        
        
        ``xmldirector.plonecore`` integrates  Plone 4.3 (later Plone 5.0) with 
        eXist-db or Base-X or providing the following features:
        
        - mounts an arbitary eXist-db or Base-X collection into Plone
        - ACE editor integration
        - ZIP export from eXist-db or Base-X
        - ZIP import into eXist-db or Base-X
        - pluggable view mechanism for configuring custom views for XML database  
          content by filename and view name
        - create, rename or delete collections through the web
        - extensible architecture through Plone Dexterity behaviors
        - support for XQuery scripts called through the RESTXQ layer of eXist-db
          (allows you to call XQuery scripts and return the output format (JSON,
          HTML, XML) depending on your application requirements)
        - dedicated per-connector logging facility
        - small and extensible
        - experimental support for mounting arbitrary WebDAV service into Plone 
        
          - ``XMLText`` - a field for storing XML content in BaseX or eXist-db
        
          - ``XPathField`` - for retrieving parts of XML content stored within a 
            ``XMLText`` field through an XPath expression (e.g. for extracting
            and displaying metadata from XML content)
        
          - ``XMLBinary`` and ``XMLImage`` fields for storing binary data and images
            in BaseX or eXist-db. The functionality is identical with the standard
            Dexterity file and image fields (except for the different storage layer)
         
        
        The primary usecase for ``xmldirector.plonecore`` is the integration of XML document
        collections into Plone using eXist-db or Base-X as storage layer. ``xmldirector.plonecore`` is
        not storage layer for Plone content in the first place although it could be
        used in some way for storing primary Plone content (or parts of the content)
        inside eXist-db or Base-X. There is no build-in support for mapping metadata as stored in
        XML documents to Plone metadata or vice versa. However this could be
        implemented easily in application specific code build on top of
        ``xmldirector.plonecore``. The design goal of ``xmldirector.plonecore`` is to provide the basic
        functionality for integrating Plone with eXist-db or Base-X without implementing any
        further specific application requirements.  Additional functionality can be
        added through Dexterity behaviors, supplementary browser views, event lifecycle
        subscribers and related technology.

          service. The handling of username + password vs. SSH authentication using SSH keys is
          currently under investigation and might change in a further release.

        Using xmldirector.plonecore
        ---------------------------
        
        The package provides a new content-types ``Connector`` that will include
        eXist-db or Base-X into Plone - either from the top-level collection of your eXist-db/Base-X
        database or from a subcollection. You can browse and traverse into
        subcollections, view single documents or edit text-ish content through the web
        (using the build-in ACE editor integration).
        
        All connection settings (URL, username and password can be overriden on 
        the connector level) in order to ignore the Plone site-wide eXist-db
        settings).
        
        .. note:: This module provides a generic integration of arbitrary 
           WebDAV services like OwnCloud, BaseX (over WebDAV) or even other Plone
           serves (exposed through the Plone WebDAV source port) with Plone.
           This integration is highly experimental and not the primary purpose
           of ``xmldirector.plonecore``. Use the functionality at your own risk.
           In order to use this module together with WebDAV services other than the
           XML database eXist-db: you have to set the emulation mode to ``webdav``
           inside the eXist-db control panel of Plone
        
        Dexterity fields
        ----------------
        
        ``xmldirector.plonecore`` comes with the following Dexterity fields that
        can be either used programmatically in your own field schema or through-the-web.
        
        XMLText
        +++++++
        The ``XMLText`` can be used to store *valid* XML content. The field is rendered
        without Plone using the ACE editor. You can perform a client-side XML validation
        within the edit mode of a document by clicking on the ``Validate XML`` button.
        A document with invalid XML content can not be submitted or saved. Invalid XML
        will be rejected with an error message through the edit form.
        
        XMLXPath
        ++++++++
        
        The ``XMLXPath`` field can be used to reference an ``XMLText`` field in order
        to display a part of the XML content using an XPath expression.
        
        Example
        
        An ``XMLPath`` field with field name ``myxml`` might contain the following XML
        content::
        
            <?xml version="1.0"?>
            <doc>
                <metadata>
                    <title>This is a text</title>
                </metdata>
                <body>....</body>
            </doc>
        
        In order to extract and display the <title> text within a dedicated Dexterity field
        you can use the following extended expression:
        
            field=<fieldname>,xpath=<xpath expression>
        
        In this case you would use:
        
            field=myxml,xpath=/doc/metadata/title/text()
        
        Note that the current syntax is very rigid and does not allow any whitespace
        characters expect within the <xpath expression>.
        
        
        XMLBinary, XMLImage
        +++++++++++++++++++
        Same as file and image field in Plone but with BaseX or eXist-db as
        storage layer.

        All releases and code changes to XML Director are automatically tested against
        various combinations of Plone and backend versions. The current test setup
        consists of 14 different combinations against the most common databases and
        services. See
        https://github.com/xml-director/xmldirector.plonecore/blob/master/.travis.yml
        for testing details. A complete test run consists of over 1400 single tests.

          (backend tests have been always passing but we had serious
          UI issues until 5.0 beta 1 and there are still issues). Plone 5
          beta support is work-in-progress and not fully completed.
