Last February, Sitecore MVP Nick Wesselman shared an awesome blog post on storing data outside of the Sitecore® Experience Platform™ using the NHibernate ORM framework — if you haven’t had a chance to read this, I strongly recommend that you do — which is complete magic, and a simple solution where you don’t have to worry about spinning up your own database tables for storing information.

But, let’s suppose you aren’t allowed to use an ORM like NHibernate in your solution for some reason — I won’t go into potential reasons but let’s make pretend there is one — and you have to find a way to store Sitecore specific information but don’t want to go through the trouble of spinning up a new Sitecore database due to the overhead involved. What can you do?

Well, you can still store information in a non-Sitecore database using the Sitecore API. The following “proof of concept” does this, and is basically modeled after how Sitecore manages data stored in the IDTable and Links Database.

The code in the following “proof of concept” adds/retrieves/deletes alternative URLs for Sitecore Items in the following custom database table:

I’m not going to talk much about the SQL table or SQL statements used in this “proof of concept” since it’s beyond the scope of this post.

Of course we all love things that are performant — and our clients love when we make things performant — so I decided to start off my solution using the following adapter — this includes the interface and concrete class — for an instance of Sitecore.Caching.Cache (this lives in Sitecore.Kernel.dll):

I’m not going to talk about the above interface or class since it just wraps Sitecore.Caching.Cache, and there isn’t much to talk about here.

Next, I spun up the following class that represents an entry in our custom SQL table:

using System;

using Sitecore.Caching;
using Sitecore.Data;
using Sitecore.Reflection;

using Newtonsoft.Json;

namespace Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Providers.ItemUrls
{
    public class ItemUrlEntry : ICacheable, ICloneable
    {
        public ID ItemID { get; set; }

        public string Site { get; set; }
        
        public string Database { get; set; }
        
        public string Url { get; set; }

        bool cacheable;
        bool ICacheable.Cacheable
        {
            get
            {
                return cacheable;
            }
            set
            {
                cacheable = value;
            }
        }

        bool ICacheable.Immutable
        {
            get
            {
                return true;
            }
        }

        event DataLengthChangedDelegate ICacheable.DataLengthChanged
        {
            add
            {
            }
            remove
            {
            }
        }

        long ICacheable.GetDataLength()
        {
            return TypeUtil.SizeOfID()
                    + TypeUtil.SizeOfString(Site) 
                    + TypeUtil.SizeOfString(Database) 
                    + TypeUtil.SizeOfString(Url);
        }

        public object Clone()
        {
            return new ItemUrlEntry { ItemID = ItemID, Site = Site, Database = Database, Url = Url };
        }

        public override string ToString()
        {
            return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(this);
        }
    }
}

Entries can contain the ID of the Sitecore Item; the specific site we are storing this url for; and the target Database.

You’ll notice I’ve implemented the Sitecore.Caching.ICacheable interface. I’ve done this so I can store entries in cache for performance. I’m not going to go much into the details of how this works since there isn’t much to point out.

I also override the ToString() method for testing purposes. You’ll see this in action later on when we test this together.

Next, we need some sort of provider to manage these entries. I’ve defined the following interface for such a provider:

using System.Collections.Generic;

using Sitecore.Data;
using Sitecore.Data.Items;
using Sitecore.Sites;

namespace Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Providers.ItemUrls
{
    public interface IItemUrlsProvider
    {
        void AddEntry(ItemUrlEntry entry);
        
        void RemoveEntry(ItemUrlEntry entry);

        Item GetItem(ItemUrlEntry entry);

        ItemUrlEntry GetEntry(ItemUrlEntry entry);

        IEnumerable<ItemUrlEntry> GetAllEntries();
    }
}

IItemUrlsProviders should have the ability to add/remove/retrieve entries. They should also offer the ability to get all entries — I need this for testing later on in this post.

Plus, as a “nice to have”, these providers should return a Sitecore Item for a given entry. Such would be useful when retrieving and setting the context Sitecore Item via a custom Item Resolver (you would typically have an <httpRequestBegin> pipeline processor that does this).

I then created the following class that implements the IItemUrlsProvider interface defined above. This class is specific to adding/removing/retrieving entries from a custom SQL database:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using Sitecore.Caching;
using Sitecore.Configuration;
using Sitecore.Data;
using Sitecore.Data.DataProviders.Sql;
using Sitecore.Data.Items;
using Sitecore.Diagnostics;

using Sitecore.Sandbox.Caching;

namespace Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Providers.ItemUrls.SqlServer
{
    public class SqlServerItemUrlsProvider : IItemUrlsProvider
    {
        private SqlDataApi SqlDataApi { get; set; }

        protected ICacheProvider CacheProvider { get; private set; }

        protected string CachePrefix { get; private set; }

        public SqlServerItemUrlsProvider(SqlDataApi sqlDataApi, ICacheProvider cacheProvider, string cachePrefix)
        {
            Assert.ArgumentNotNull(sqlDataApi, "sqlDataApi");
            Assert.ArgumentNotNull(cacheProvider, "cacheProvider");
            Assert.ArgumentNotNullOrEmpty(cachePrefix, "cachePrefix");
            SqlDataApi = sqlDataApi;
            CacheProvider = cacheProvider;
            CachePrefix = cachePrefix;
        }

        public void AddEntry(ItemUrlEntry entry)
        {
            Assert.ArgumentNotNull(entry, "entry");
            Assert.ArgumentCondition(!ID.IsNullOrEmpty(entry.ItemID), "entry.ItemID", "entry.ItemID cannot be null or empty");
            Assert.ArgumentNotNullOrEmpty(entry.Site, "entry.Site");
            Assert.ArgumentNotNullOrEmpty(entry.Database, "entry.Database");
            Assert.ArgumentNotNullOrEmpty(entry.Url, "entry.Url");
            const string addEntrySql = "INSERT INTO {0}ItemUrls{1} ( {0}ItemID{1}, {0}Site{1}, {0}Database{1}, {0}Url{1} ) VALUES ( {2}itemID{3}, {2}site{3}, {2}database{3}, {2}url{3} )";
            var success = Factory.GetRetryer().Execute(() =>
            {

            });

            if (success)
            {
                AddToCache(entry);
            }
        }

        public void RemoveEntry(ItemUrlEntry entry)
        {
            const string deleteEntrySql = "DELETE FROM {0}ItemUrls{1} WHERE {0}Site{1} = {2}site{3} AND {0}Database{1} = {2}database{3} AND {0}Url{1} = {2}url{3}";

                foundEntry = entry.Clone() as ItemUrlEntry;
                foundEntry.ItemID = itemID;
                AddToCache(entry);
                return foundEntry;
            }
        }

        public IEnumerable<ItemUrlEntry> GetAllEntries()
        {
            const string getAllEntriesSql = "SELECT {0}ItemID{1}, {0}Site{1}, {0}Database{1}, {0}Url{1} FROM {0}ItemUrls{1}";
            IList<ItemUrlEntry> entries = new List<ItemUrlEntry>();
            using (DataProviderReader reader = SqlDataApi.CreateReader(getAllEntriesSql, new object[0]))
            {
                while(reader.Read())
                {
                    ID itemID = ID.Parse(SqlDataApi.GetGuid(0, reader));
                    if (!ID.IsNullOrEmpty(itemID))

                                Database = SqlDataApi.GetString(2, reader),

                }
            }

            return entries;
        }

        protected virtual void AddToCache(ItemUrlEntry entry)
        {
            CacheProvider.Add(GetCacheKey(entry), entry);
        }

        protected virtual void RemoveFromCache(ItemUrlEntry entry)
        {
            CacheProvider.Remove(GetCacheKey(entry));
        }

        protected virtual ItemUrlEntry GetFromCache(ItemUrlEntry entry)
        {
            return CacheProvider[GetCacheKey(entry)] as ItemUrlEntry;
        }

        protected virtual string GetCacheKey(ItemUrlEntry entry)
        {
            Assert.ArgumentNotNull(entry, "entry");
            Assert.ArgumentNotNull(entry.Site, "entry.Site");
            Assert.ArgumentNotNull(entry.Database, "entry.Database");
            Assert.ArgumentNotNull(entry.Url, "entry.Url");
            return string.Join("#", CachePrefix, entry.Site, entry.Database, entry.Url);
        }
    }
}

Sitecore.Data.DataProviders.Sql.SqlDataApi and ICacheProvider instances along with a cache prefix are injected into the class instance’s constructor using the Sitecore Configuration Factory (you’ll get a better idea of how this happens when you have a look at the patch configuration file towards the bottom of this post). These are saved to properties on the class instance so they can be leveraged by the methods on the class.

One thing I would like to point out is the Sitecore.Data.DataProviders.Sql.SqlDataApi class is an abstraction — it’s an abstract class that is subclassed by Sitecore.Data.SqlServer.SqlServerDataApi in Sitecore.Kernel.dll. This concrete class does most of the leg work on talking to the SQL Server database, and we just utilize methods on it for adding/deleting/removing entries.

The AddEntry() method delegates the database saving operation to the Sitecore.Data.DataProviders.Sql.SqlDataApi instance, and then uses the ICacheProvider instance for storing the entry in cache.

The RemoveEntry() method also leverages the Sitecore.Data.DataProviders.Sql.SqlDataApi instance for deleting the entry from the database, and then removes the entry from cache via the ICacheProvider instance.

The GetEntry() method does exactly what you think it does. It tries to get the entry first from cache via the ICacheProvider instance and then the database via the Sitecore.Data.DataProviders.Sql.SqlDataApi instance if the entry was not found in cache. If the Item was not in cache but was in the database, the GetEntry() method then saves the entry to cache.

I then created the following Singleton for testing:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using Sitecore.Configuration;
using Sitecore.Data.Items;
using Sitecore.Diagnostics;

namespace Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Providers.ItemUrls
{
    public class ItemUrlsProvider : IItemUrlsProvider
    {
        private static readonly Lazy<IItemUrlsProvider> lazyInstance = new Lazy<IItemUrlsProvider>(() => new ItemUrlsProvider());

        public static IItemUrlsProvider Current { get { return lazyInstance.Value; } }

        private IItemUrlsProvider InnerProvider { get; set; }

        private ItemUrlsProvider()
        {
            InnerProvider = GetInnerProvider();
        }

        public void AddEntry(ItemUrlEntry entry)
        {
            InnerProvider.AddEntry(entry);
        }

        public void RemoveEntry(ItemUrlEntry entry)
        {
            InnerProvider.RemoveEntry(entry);
        }

        public Item GetItem(ItemUrlEntry entry)
        {
            return InnerProvider.GetItem(entry);
        }

        public ItemUrlEntry GetEntry(ItemUrlEntry entry)
        {
            return InnerProvider.GetEntry(entry);
        }

        public IEnumerable<ItemUrlEntry> GetAllEntries()
        {
            return InnerProvider.GetAllEntries();
        }

        protected virtual IItemUrlsProvider GetInnerProvider()
        {
            IItemUrlsProvider provider = Factory.CreateObject("itemUrlsProvider", true) as IItemUrlsProvider;
            Assert.IsNotNull(provider, "itemUrlsProvider must be set in configuration!");
            return provider;
        }
    }
}

The Singleton above basically decorates the IItemUrlsProvider instance defined in Sitecore configuration — see the configuration file below — and delegates method calls to it.

I then wired everything together using the following patch configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/">
  <sitecore>
    <itemUrlsProvider id="custom" type="Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Providers.ItemUrls.$(database).$(database)ItemUrlsProvider, Sitecore.Sandbox" singleInstance="true">
      <param type="Sitecore.Data.$(database).$(database)DataApi, Sitecore.Kernel" desc="sqlDataApi">
        <param connectionStringName="$(id)"/>
      </param>
      <param type="Sitecore.Sandbox.Caching.CacheProvider, Sitecore.Sandbox" desc="cacheProvider">
        <param desc="cacheName">[ItemUrls]</param>
        <param desc="cacheSize">500KB</param>
      </param>
      <param desc="cachePrefix">ItemUrlsEntry</param>
    </itemUrlsProvider>
  </sitecore>
</configuration>

For testing, I whipped up a standalone ASP.NET Web Form (yes, there are more elegant ways to do this but it’s Sunday so cut me some slack 😉 ):

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

using Sitecore.Data.Items;

using Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Providers.ItemUrls;

namespace Sitecore.Sandbox.Web.tests
{
    public partial class ItemUrlsProviderTest : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            IItemUrlsProvider provider = ItemUrlsProvider.Current;
            Item home = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem("/sitecore/content/home");
            StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
            
            ItemUrlEntry firstEntry = new ItemUrlEntry { ItemID = home.ID, Site = Sitecore.Context.Site.Name, Database = Sitecore.Context.Database.Name, Url = "/this/does/not/exist" };
            output.AppendFormat("Adding {0} as an entry.<br />", firstEntry);
            provider.AddEntry(firstEntry);

            ItemUrlEntry secondEntry = new ItemUrlEntry { ItemID = home.ID, Site = Sitecore.Context.Site.Name, Database = Sitecore.Context.Database.Name, Url = "/fake/url" };
            output.AppendFormat("Adding {0} as an entry.<br />", secondEntry);
            provider.AddEntry(secondEntry);

            ItemUrlEntry thirdEntry = new ItemUrlEntry { ItemID = home.ID, Site = Sitecore.Context.Site.Name, Database = Sitecore.Context.Database.Name, Url = "/another/fake/url" };
            output.AppendFormat("Adding {0} as an entry.<hr />", thirdEntry);
            provider.AddEntry(thirdEntry);

            ItemUrlEntry fourthEntry = new ItemUrlEntry { ItemID = home.ID, Site = Sitecore.Context.Site.Name, Database = Sitecore.Context.Database.Name, Url = "/blah/blah/blah" };
            output.AppendFormat("Adding {0} as an entry.<hr />", fourthEntry);
            provider.AddEntry(fourthEntry);

            ItemUrlEntry fifthEntry = new ItemUrlEntry { ItemID = home.ID, Site = Sitecore.Context.Site.Name, Database = Sitecore.Context.Database.Name, Url = "/i/am/a/url" };
            output.AppendFormat("Adding {0} as an entry.<hr />", fifthEntry);
            provider.AddEntry(fifthEntry);

            output.AppendFormat("Current saved entries:<br /><br />{0}<hr />", string.Join("<br />", provider.GetAllEntries().Select(entry => entry.ToString())));

            output.AppendFormat("Removing entry {0}.<br /><br />", firstEntry.ToString());
            provider.RemoveEntry(firstEntry);

            output.AppendFormat("Current saved entries:<br /><br />{0}", string.Join("<br />", provider.GetAllEntries().Select(entry => entry.ToString())));
            litResults.Text = output.ToString();
        }
    }
}

The test above adds five entries, and then deletes one. It also outputs what’s in the database after specific operations.

After doing a build, I pulled up the above Web Form in my browser and saw this once the page was done rendering:

If you have any thoughts on this, please share in a comment.

Until next time, have a Sitecoredatalicious day!
