Hi all, Just wanted to let you know about Jamecs, the JAva ManagEd Content System. Jamecs is a powerful, flexible Content Management Framework for the J2EE Servlets environment. Jamecs provides Velocity integration at the lowest level, and uses VTL features for a variety of things, from view templates to conditionals.
Jamecs is a very young project: This is the first release, intended really to introduce the platform and allow developers to get a look and start telling us what they think. I'm especially keen to hear from Velocity developers - where should we go from here? Jamecs boasts the following features: Coherent Object-Based Content Management Transparent Object Persistence with JDBC Tight integration with Velocity from the ground up XML-based configuration Rich Extension & Object API Highly modular design Open Source, under the ASL 2.0 If you've ever wanted to be able to do this: #foreach ($child in $here.Children) <tr><td>$child</td><td>$child.Class.Name</td> #if ($child.isA("Document")) <td>$child.RenderedContent</td> #else <td>Click <a href='$child'>here</a> to view</td> #end </tr> #end and a whole lot more, then check it out! Please note, however, that this is the *first release*, and is not really a whole lot of use yet, although all the major features (and everything I've mentioned here) works! It's hard to install too :( Thanks for the bandwidth, Ross Bamford -- [Ross A.
