MMBase Bridge is a part of MMBase, but can also be used in other projects. Its main goal is to contain the 'bridge' api to talk to MMBase. But it has a few other things too:
-
'bridge': These things can be distinguished but are are actually very related to each other.
-
The Bridge API itself (org.mmbase.bridge)
-
A SearchQuery abstraction and implementation (org.mmbase.storage.search)
-
A DataType framework, plus a bunch if implementations (org.mmbase.datatypes).
-
MMBase security API
-
-
A Portal framework (org.mmbase.framework)
-
Utils to work with this bridge (org.mmbase.bridge.util)
-
A mock implementation of this bridge (org.mmbase.bridge.mock)
-
A caching framework. Could perhaps be (partially) moved to utils
-
A function framework (org.mmbase.util.functions). This depends on DataTypes.
