SDL Digital Experience Accelerator Java Spring MVC web application

The SDL Digital Experience Accelerator (formerly known as the SDL Tridion Reference Implementation) is a reference implementation of SDL Tridion intended to help you create, design and publish an SDL Tridion-based Web site quickly.

You can find more details and a download of the entire release on https://community.sdl.com/developers/tridion_developer/m/mediagallery/1241

The SDL Digital Experience Accelerator is intended as a toolkit to help the SDL Tridion community and is not an officially supported SDL Tridion product.

If you encounter problems, reach out to the community: http://tridion.stackexchange.com/

The official release contains only the source code for the DXA example web site and the Core module. This repository contains the full source of the DXA framework to give you insight in how it is built and what is there available for you to extend. You are free to use these sources under the terms and conditions of the license mentioned below, however we suggest you only change the code provided in the distribution media and make use of the compiled DXA framework.

Documentation can be found online in the SDL doc portal, you can find details about this in the download on the SDL Community site.

The following repositories with source code are available:

• https://github.com/sdl/dxa-content-management - Core Template Building Blocks
• https://github.com/sdl/dxa-html-design - Whitelabel HTML Design
• https://github.com/sdl/dxa-modules - Modules (.NET and Java)
• https://github.com/sdl/dxa-web-application-dotnet - ASP.NET MVC web application (incl. framework)
• https://github.com/sdl/dxa-web-application-java - Java Spring MVC web application (incl. framework)

We are using the following branching strategy:

• master - Represents the latest stable version. This may be an pre-release version (tagged as "DXA x.y Sprint z"). Updated each development Sprint (approx. bi-weekly).
• develop - Represents the latest development version. Updated very frequently (typically nightly).
• release/x.y - Represents the x.y Release. If hotfixes are applicable, they will be applied to the appropriate release branch, so that the release branch actually represent the initial release plus hotfixes.

All releases (including pre-releases) are Tagged.

If you wish to submit a Pull Request, it should normally be submitted on the develop branch, so it can be incorporated in the upcoming release. Fixes for really severe/urgent issues (which qualify as hotfixes) should be submitted as Pull Request on the appropriate release branch. Please always submit an Issue for the problem and indicate whether you think it qualifies as a hotfix; Pull Requests on release branches will only be accepted after agreement on the severity of the issue. Furthermore, Pull Requests on release branches are expected to be extensively tested.

Of course, it's also possible to report an Issue without associated Pull Requests.
