With the announcement of Project WebSynergy, the aggregation and presentation solution for most internet and enterprise applications looks to be heading in the right direction. A significant requirement for any such application is a good Content Management System (CMS). Check out this entry as to how Project Mirage is leveraged and used in WebSynergy. 

Back in January 07, we started a project to support EMC Documentum Enterprise Content Management Portlets in Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1. The portlets in Content Management and Web Publisher categories are pre-packaged Web Development Kit (WDK) components that include Java server pages,  Java classes, and XML files. These portlets  provide core content management and content services for creating, viewing, submitting and publishing various types of content.

eRoom portlets provide a dashboard view into EMC Documentum eRoom and offer the ability to manage multiple project eRooms. 

ECI Services portlet is built using ECI Services framework with adapters to search various repositories, databases and and web sites.

All these portlets are  JSR 168 standard based and customizable. For further details, please visit this link Sun Java System Portal Server Documentum Portlets 

Mirage project

The Mirage Project site got launched today on java.net. Check it out here

Mirage is an open source project which aims to deliver a professional open source content management system based on the content repository Java Content Repository (JCR) viz. JSR-170.


You can read more about it at my blog here.

The OpenPortal Project  will soon have a Content Management System (CMS)  infrastructure and an open CMS out of the box . This CMS, currently implemented as a Document Management System  is JSR170 (JCR standards) compliant and uses Apache's Jackrabbit and Object Content Mapping (OCM) .

  The interesting part is that Document Management  functionality is exposed via tag libraries where the tags can be dragged and dropped in the portlet page and developer can have his/her own  CMS presentation . For this we have the NetBeans plugin . Check this out in the CMSDemo . This CMS solution is in progress and we plan to enhance it further for Article Management, Jobs Management and Ad Management.
