What problem does it solve?
Jahia 8.2 Java module development involves coordinating OSGi modules, defining content types with CND, crafting JSP views, implementing backend logic (rules, actions, queries), and extending Jahia UI extensions. It helps teams streamline module creation, ensure correct deployment, and troubleshoot integration points across the Jahia stack.
Core Features & Use Cases
- OSGi-based module scaffolding and deployment for Jahia 8.2
- CND content type definitions and mixins integration for site data models
- JSP rendering views and UI extensions for Content Editor and jContent
- Backend logic development: Drools rules, JCR queries, actions, and providers
- Deployment workflows and debugging across local Jahia instances
Quick Start
Create a new Jahia module project, implement a sample CND content type, add a simple JSP view, and deploy to a local Jahia server to verify the workflow.
