Module specification

This is a specification of an OpenESDH module.

• An OpenESDH model consists of a repo module and (optionally) a share module.

Model

• All case type models must extend the case:base model, or a submodel of case:base.

<model name="my:model" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">
    <imports>
        <import uri="http://openesdh.dk/model/case/1.0/" prefix="case" />
    </imports>
    <namespaces>
        <namespace uri="http://openesdh.dk/model/my/1.0/" prefix="my" />
    </namespaces>
    <types>
        <type name="my:case">
            <parent>case:base</parent>
        </type>
    </types>
</model>

Security

• A module can extend the permission model by creating a bean that extends the extendPermissionModel bean. (Maybe the bean should have another id).

• It should be possible for a case module to supply its own security model.

• Roles:

  • CaseCreator

  • CaseOwner

  • CaseWriter

  • Case Reader

A module can define a number of permission groups, e.g. MyReader, MyWriter, MySomethingElse. These groups can then be added to groups defined in Alfresco or imported from LDAP or Active Directory (AD).

Workflows

• A module shall be able to contain its own workflows, or refer to workflows from its parent modules.

• It shall be possible to specify a workflow that shall start when an instance of a case type is created.

GUI

• A module that defines its own case type shall define the UI for the create case form.

• If a user does not have access to a given case type, it shall not be displayed in the create case menu.
