Concept - Multi Channel

GREYMulti ChannelGREY

Rationale

• the same content should be delivered differently (different HTML, format, ...)
  • a channel can be: a device, location, medium
• content can be excluded or made exclusive to one channel

Configuration

• the channels are configured in site/channels (ordered map)
• each channel has a resolver

Detection

• AggregationState has a channel property
• the aggregation filter sets this value by using a ChannelResolver
  • the STKChannelResolver uses the configured channels
• Default value is Channel.ALL
• a channel parameter can be passed

Caching

• the channel is part of the cache key

Rendering

• the template variation resolver uses the current channel name

Content Structure

• content can be marked for specific channels (multiple channels)
• in the STK we provide a tab used by all the page properties dialogs
• the channels are stored in the multivalue property channels

Content Delivery

• urls to /website/* map to the physical workspace website
• /* maps to the virtual workspace magnolia
• the virtual session
  • uses the aggregation state to exclude/include content
