Actually, a discussion of database versus filesystem storage of content would be worthwhile. So far there has been some hyperbole, but few facts.

With all the other technologies in ofbiz, seems like webslinger just adds more

reducing the number of technologies used, and increase the amount of re-use of 
technologies it already has.

So, for me, that means entity/service/screen/presentment models are the core 
technologies.   Galvanizing initiatives around those appear to provide leverage.

Now don't get me wrong, the "CMS" that is native in ofbiz is incomplete and 
needs a lot of work...  and for our use case of providing self edited web sites and 
ecommerce sites, that appears a better starting point.  We have done things to add self 
editing etc... but we need to put a lot more effort into that to ensure that there is a 
real solution.

Things to note. There are *no* database calls *at all*. It's all
done with files on disk. History browsing is backed by git, using
jgit to read it directly in java. CSS styling is rather poor. Most
unimplemented pages should do something nice(instead of a big read
'Not Yet Implemented'); at least there shouldn't be an exceptions
on those pages.

that sounded real interesting and i thought i have to have a look at
this, unfortunately all i got is:


    HTTP Status 500 -

*type* Exception report

*message*

*description* _The server encountered an internal error () that
prevented it from fulfilling this request._

*exception*

java.lang.NullPointerException

Hmm, nice, thanks.

Your user-agent is:

"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-GB; rv:1.9.2.9)
Gecko/20100824 Firefox/3.6.9"

The (x86_64) is what is causing the problem, I hadn't seen this type
of string in the wild. The regex doesn't like nested (). It's fixed
now.
