Jalios Connector

Prerequisites

The basic configuration for Jalios connectors covers:

  1. Web Services Activation (Open API)
  2. Base URL of the Jalios platform, and optionally the URL path prefix (by default jcms)
  3. REST API connection information (authentication key or username/password)
  4. Workspace ID

For synchronizing publications, it involves defining the publication type and how to use the data from the objects in question.

Types can be (non-exhaustive list):

  • generated.BlogPost
  • generated.DBWikiPage
  • generated.FaqEntry
  • generated.JEvent
  • generated.JNewsArticle
  • or any other type available in the Jalios instance.

Publications retrieved to be transmitted to Wikit Semantics are transformed by the connector into an intermediate format (HTML or Markdown). A Mustache or Handlebars expression allows configuring this transformation, for example:

<h1>{{{title}}}</h1>

{{intro}}

{{content}}

Web Services Activation

The connector requires access to the REST API of the Jalios instance.

  1. Log in with a Jalios administrator account
  2. Go to the administration area via the address https://<domain>/admin/
  3. In the "Technical Administration" section, go to property editing, via the "Properties" link: https://<domain>/admin/adminProperties.jsp
  4. Activate the Open API interface by authorizing read and operations.

Checking the descriptive URL prefix

The descriptive prefix is used for readable URLs of documents and pages in Jalios. By default, the value jcms is used in Jalios; it can be modified in the instance properties.

To check the prefix:

  1. Log in with a Jalios administrator account
  2. Go to the administration area via the address https://<domain>/admin/
  3. In the "Technical Administration" section, go to property editing, via the "Properties" link then the "Advanced Editing" button: https://<domain>/admin/properties/editor/propEditor.jsp
  4. Filter on the descriptive-urls.prefix property:
