Hassandotcms
Over ten months, contributed to dotCMS/core by designing and developing robust REST and GraphQL APIs for permissions, tag management, publishing workflows, and maintenance automation. Leveraging Java, Spring Boot, and OpenAPI, delivered features such as asset-level permission controls, batch tag operations, and Quartz scheduler job management, replacing legacy interfaces with modern, test-driven endpoints. Focused on backend reliability, security, and data integrity, implemented comprehensive integration and unit tests using JUnit and Postman. Enhanced API clarity with detailed documentation and validation, enabling safer automation and streamlined admin workflows. The work improved scalability, auditability, and developer experience across core CMS operations and maintenance.

May 1, 2026May 2026 performance highlights for dotCMS/core: Delivered a comprehensive REST-based maintenance API suite, reinforced upgrade resilience, and fixed data consistency issues to improve automation, reliability, and scalability. Replaced legacy DWR maintenance endpoints with modern REST endpoints for asset maintenance, contentlet deletion, session management, thread dumps/info, and log file listing. Implemented an upgrade-resilience fix to recover the Plugins portlet after upgrades, and resolved duplicate tag creation during CSV imports with an idempotent processing workflow. The work is supported by thorough testing and clear API contracts to reduce manual maintenance and accelerate developer productivity.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026: Delivered a modernization of CMS maintenance tooling by replacing legacy JSP/Struts actions with REST APIs, enabling safer, automated maintenance workflows and improved publishing reliability. Implemented three coordinated API suites: CMS Maintenance REST API Modernization, Cache Management APIs, and Maintenance tools (search/replace, drop old versions, pushed assets). Each set includes new endpoints, data validation, OpenAPI documentation, and integration tests. Achieved significant business value: reduced manual maintenance toil, faster remediation, and safer cache/publishing operations with per-asset error reporting and idempotent operations. Strengthened security and observability with SecurityLogger entries and admin controls. The project lays groundwork for automation and pipeline reliability across CMS maintenance tasks.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026: dotCMS/core delivered a focused set of reliability and API-clarity improvements around tag management and publishing workflows, backed by strong test coverage and documentation updates. Key outcomes include a critical fix to tag visibility in the v2 tag update flow, an API contract improvement for tag creation/import to clearly report created vs. duplicates, and a new bulk purge endpoint for publishing jobs with safeguards. Key features delivered: - Tag visibility bug fix in PUT /api/v2/tags/{id}: Correctly resolve tagStorage so updated tags are stored and queried by the effective site ID, preventing invisible tags after updates; cache invalidation now also occurs when host_id changes. Integration tests (TagResourceIntegrationTest) validate create, update, and list flows with proper tagStorage resolution. - Tag creation/import API duplicates handling improvement: POST /api/v2/tags now returns separate created and duplicates lists; POST /api/v2/tags/import tracks duplicateCount separately from successCount; Postman tests and contracts updated accordingly. - Bulk purge of publishing jobs by status: New DELETE /v1/publishing/purge endpoint with safe statuses, in-code validation, and Swagger documentation; includes 7 integration tests to ensure safe operation and data integrity. Overall impact: - Maintains tag visibility across site changes and tag updates, improving data integrity and admin confidence. - Improves API clarity and workflow efficiency for tag management by making duplicates explicit and trackable. - Reduces risk of accidental data loss with a controlled bulk purge mechanism for publishing jobs; boosts operator productivity through better tooling and test coverage. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - REST API design and versioned endpoints (v2/v1) with proper request/response contracts. - Backend logic changes in TagFactoryImpl.java (tagStorage resolution, cache invalidation) and caching considerations. - Test-driven development through integration tests, Postman test updates, and test coverage expansion. - Documentation improvements (Swagger) to reflect new behaviors and endpoints. - Collaborative development evidenced by co-authored commits and cross-feature integration.
