I now have access to a Java enabled server and am toying
with the idea of installing a Java based CMS to wrap common
navigation, header/footer around basic HTML, in the style
of the CMS used at dev.java.net*.
Resources Available
- Java based server. Servlets or (uggh..) JSP available.
- MySQL database.
Looking over this list of possibilites at SourceForge
<http://java-source.net/open-source/content-managment-systems>
32 listed.. Huhh.. Some are ruled out immediately from
the short description, but I was wondering if anybody
around here had enough experience with the remaining ones
to suggest a good** CMS?
Of course, if it is not on the SF list, but is worth
mentioning, please speak up.
** Requirements
- Manages HTML content and possibly images***.
- Standardised, interoperable.
- Easy editing of 'themes' (are they actually talking
about CSS there?) and/or 'templates' - I would prefer
storing templates as either XML or HTML(ish).
- Good documentation and userbase/communities (for more help).
- Open source + free for use on non-commercial site.
- Would be nice if included (or had easy extensibility -
'plug-in') for
-- *** bulk image storage (though that may require
a second DB?).
-- site search (especially JavaHelp based).

Is valid HTML 4.01 here, and becomes this valid..

%2Fscreensavers.dev.java.net%2Fconfig%2F&charset=%28detect
+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0>
...oh well, it was valid when the CMS declared the HTML as 4.01..

%2Fscreensavers.dev.java.net%2Fconfig%2F&charset=%28detect
+automatically%29&doctype=HTML+4.01+Strict&group=0>
172 errors reduced to 5, mostly due to the XHTML 1.0
mixed into it. (sigh)
