PROJECT OVERVIEW100k potential usersResponsive web design23 business processes to buildMigration from a productive environmentSensitive user data

OPEN SUITE APPROACH

Each of them interacts with SAP in a customized wayStandard form builder was not enough

NEED TO MODEL 23 PROCESSES

SAP-aware validatorsMultistep navigation barStep ValidatorsScriptable default values for input (eval)Final summary step

FORM BUILDER “RELOADED”

BUSINESS PROCESS SITE TREE

CHANGE PAYMENT METHOD

FORM BUILDER CUSTOMIZATIONS

SAP-AWARE VALIDATORS

Legacy SOAP-based SAP integration layerRefactoring not in project scope!No documentationOnly WSDL

LEGACY SAP INTEGRATION

SOLUTION: jUNIT Tests to reverse engineer SOAP layerJava Client: built with jax-ws, filled with jUnit test cases.Magnolia 5 IoC allowed our team to mock almost everything, without blocking front-end developers.

SAP URLs in magnolia.properties file No risk of accessing the wrong SAP environment.

LEGACY ALFRESCO DMSCustomer communications were stored in Alfresco

SOLUTION: ALFRESCO APIUsed standard Alfresco API to download documentsA dedicated Magnolia «DocumentDownloadServlet» transparently proxies the document download request

for a logged user, applying a security layer on top of it.

ALFRESCO CONNECTION VIA API

AUTHENTICATION VS AUTHORIZATION

Users are in SAPNo ACLs: everything is data-drivenRules not applicable on a hierarchical page tree

SOLUTION: PAGE RENDERERPage protection (for each page)Security layer exposed to freemarker

conditional presentation layer statementsuser interface personalization

Easy to test and debug

USER LOGIN

CONCLUSIONSMagnolia «open suite approach» easily allows to «plug» your integration activityForm Builder is very powerful and customizableMock activity is foundamental in projects like this. Magnolia IoC helps the project lifecycle and team workUser data security always on top of feature set
