I can't recommend one - I'm started looking at them the other day. But the main contenders (for open source java) seem to be:
OpenCMS - http://www.opencms.org/opencms/en/ InfoGlue - http://www.infoglue.org/ Magnolia - http://www.magnolia.info/en/magnolia.html Theres a list of a load of java ones here: http://java-source.net/open-source/content-managment-systems and theres a matrix for comparing here (any, not just java) http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ >From an installation point of view Magnolia was v. easy - drop in the war and it was up and running - only had to change the memory setting for Tomcat. Infoglue had an "install" program - the gui version just hung, but the command line one worked fine. Everything seemed to go OK, but it was throwing loads of exceptions in the Tomcat console window and parts of it didn't work. Haven't gone back to it yet to find out why. OpenCMS - didn't get round to installing yet. Magnolia seems nice, but the document management and business process modules are not free (don't know if they're open source either) and from searching their mailing archive there are a number of people asking how to integrate a struts app with it - but no answer on how to do that easily. Maybe what I need is a combined CMS and portal system. With my v. limited knowledge seems that a must have is a JSR170 compliant CMS system. That way, in theory it would be straight forward to switch you're CMS solution. This question was asked recently on this list and the recommendations people made were: Coremedia (not free) http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg30794.html Zope + Plone (not java) http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg30787.html Apache Lenya http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg30840.html Magnolia http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg30793.html http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg21340.html View Direct Co http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg21350.html www.jclubhouse.org (in progress) http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg25335.html View Direct Contenuity http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg25333.html Rhythmix http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg21344.html InfoGlue http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg21341.html Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary VanMatre" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <dev@struts.apache.org> Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 6:48 PM Subject: [OT] OS CMS Recommendations > Can anyone recommend a good open source web content management system? > > Thanks, > Gary --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
