MOSS 2007 and Software Product Lines

Hi. My name is Alfred de Weerd. In this blog I will deal with MOSS 2007 and development professionalisation in general. I'm planning to write about subjects like a MOSS product line in general, reusable assets, software factories, processes and the like.

Mapping Content Type schema, SPContenttype object and MOSS GUI

This post is the first of a small series about the mapping of the representation of the core entities of MOSS. I use this info to make a complete mapping in the MOSS Feature Generator, but I thought it could be useful on its own. This first article is about Content Types, as you might have guessed from the title. Since I strive for completeness, let me know if you think I missed anything (or I'm dead wrong). The actual content is an attached word-file (it is indeed a rather tiny link).

Most of the property mappings are incorporated in the MOSS Feature Generator. In future versions, all mappings should be part of the MFG. I'm working now on a little restructuring of the code, so that it has become possible to better organize functionalities into features. Supporting this in the treeview has been a bit of a hassle, though. Next issue is keeping all Guids and ID's in sync. To date, this is still a manual operation.

Note that in the table with the actual mapping, I used existing documentation as much as possible, with some humble annotations of me thrown in, marked with (Alfred).
