Silverpeas Core

Silverpeas Core is the foundation of the Silverpeas Collaborative Web Portal.

It provides both a business and a web APIs for the applications dedicated to run within the portal.

The business core

The business API defines a framework and a bus through which the services can interact with each other. This bus is made up of transverse services for:

• authenticating and authorizing users and groups of users,
• scheduling tasks in the time,
• notifying about actions performed by an application or a business service,
• notifying the users,
• managing the life-cycle of business and technical services,
• invoking a service by a functional or business interface,
• logging information,
• ...

The business services

Besides and atop of the core foundation of Silverpeas, this project provides also a set of pre-defined services ready to be used by the applications:

• chat engine,
• search engine,
• commenting engine,
• classification engine,
• statistics engine,
• workflow engine,
• ...

The web core

The web API defines a GUI layout, a core Web framework, and it provides a set of GUI services written both in Java and in Javascript:

• a MVC framework,
• a REST-style web services framework,
• a set of Web components built atop of AngularJS 2 (for the older ones) and VueJS (for the newer ones),
• a set of plain-old Javascript functions and services,
• a reusable HTML canvas,
• a layout of HTML parts to build Web pages or some parts of them,
