Hi Brad,
We are a small company who has started to create a CMS project out of the following technologies:
Operating Systems: Linux
Web Development: HTML, XML, JavaScript
Web Based User Interface: Tapestry Framework with XSLT
Databases: MySQL
WebServer: Tomcat
Server Side: Java, Java Servlets, JDBC, JavaBeans
Unit Tests: JUnit, Checkstyle
Acceptance Testing: HttpUnit
XP methodologies in refactoring, continuous integration, collective code ownership, pair programming, coding standards
We have recently integrated Slide 2.0 into our framework and are planning to build the Phase II part of our CMS with the 2.1 release of Slide and Projector. However, we are not yet sure. Plus, we used API solely in our development, that is we access Slide directly from code, not via WebDAV. So we are limited and I do not want to change a lot to find another product for Phase II. I wanted this CMS and future portal to be purely web based on Java.
Here is what we are planning for the Phase II of our project.
Document editing workflow: * Download and Edit files locally with lock/unlock cycle
* Automated/manual notifications on document change
Document collaboraration: * Comments, notes and discussion threads for folders and documents.
Search:
* Document metadata search (filename, date, author, title, description, etc.)
* Full-text search only in .txt -- http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/
o .html, .pdf, .doc, .xls files -- need to use custom text extractor, see http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
o .rtf, .ppt
o .dwf, .dwg, .dxf
Audit trail: * Document versioning
We have completed the Projects and Folders Tree to Store Documents, User Permissions for Folders and a Document Activity Log in our Phase I. We have used the Model-View-Controller design as well. We decided against JSP.
I noticed that you are with a University and I would be happy to donate our entire CVS and work to your project if you feel it would be helpful to have the beginnings of what you are looking to design. We used Tapestry so you will need to check into Tapestry to see why we feel it was the best solution for our application as purely web based. I'm not the technical expert on the project and am just learning about Open Source technologies myself.
If I can help you and your students, please let me know!
Thanks. Walt.

Hello.
We are embarking on project where were we want to have a
Model-View-Controller Java based Servlet application for a content
management system. How well does Slide integrate into Struts?
So, lets say our Model would be the data stored in Slide, the view would be Servlets and/or JSP, and the controller would be Struts. Is this a workable solution.
Thank you in advance,
