Multi-domain and multi-site support

The default configuration of WebCmsModule considers all entities as part of a single pool of data (the "domain"). Usually a domain corresponds with a single website, often represented by an actual DNS record.

WebCmsModule also supports multiple domains within a single application, with a domain being represented by a WebCmsDomain entity. Default configuration is provided for the use case where a domain corresponds with a website. However a WebCmsDomain is an abstract grouping of asset and configuration data, and the domain concept could be used in an entirely different fashion if so wanted.

Any entity that can be attached to a particular WebCmsDomain should implement the WebCmsDomainBound interface. WebCmsModule will automatically reconfigure EntityModule settings for any WebCmsDomainBound entity, based on the multi-domain configuration provided.

All default implementations provided by WebCmsModule implement this interface. When using one of the default base classes (eg. WebCmsObjectSuperClass), you automatically implement WebCmsDomainBound.


In a multi-domain setup, entities not attached to a specific domain are shared across all domains. Entities attached to a single domain are available only on that specific domain.
