I'm not saying entitybeans are "wrong" per se, I only want to state that their are 
better alternatives, even alternatives that are promoted on the home page of this 
jboss site -> hibernate the most popular o/r mapping tool i.e. . And I don't think 
that saying that the application uses local I/F's makes the whole thing right. You 
don't have to attack me by saying that you guys have a day job and are just 
contributor, I was just trying to be open minded for a discussion.

First of all, this is the first time I'm looking at CMS solutions and I have to agree 
that my criticism on Nukes was a bit hard (especially because we are just in release 
1). I took the time (my evening time because I also have a day job ;) ) to take a look 
at some of the other openSource CMS tools. For now I checked out: cofax, dbprism, 
lenya, magnolia, opencms and slide (redhat cms wouldn't download ppfff), and there are 
other waiting to be reviewed (If anyone knows any alternative, please inform me on 
that).

Beside looking for just a CMS, I'm looking for a CMS for which we can develop custom 
modules for our clients. SO actually making it a cms/portal. I was suprised to see 
that there is just nothing out there (opensource) that is usable. The Nukes concept of 
writing your won custom blocks / modules seems to be the biggest lack in all the other 
tools. So I have to agree with the JBoss group that they needed to rewrite PHPNukes 
because of the lack of Java opensource tools (and offcourse because phpnukes isn't 
scalable).

But no the less agreeing to the fact that for now Nukes is the best we have, I still 
have a lot of issues with this version (and yes I know it's still in release 1, so 
I'll be a little more patient). But I'm looking on how it is possible th build 
complete enterprise applications using Nukes.

For now, I always used Struts for my flow so I guess that with this kind of technology 
in the back of my head I having some problems about thinking in Nukes terms. So I look 
to hear from you guys some implementation examples on what you did with NUkes and how.

Because this Struts, tiles, jsp, xslt, ... using guy is for the moment a bit confused 
:D

But not the less I'm going to continue to monitor the progress on Nukes, and I guess 
it will kick ass in the next version ;)

Grtz
