I would be interested in hearing more as I was contemplating doing
something similar.

well, i'm currently studying the requirements for a software like
this. my goal is not to build an application but a framework. this
means that the result will be a set of classes for building a schema,
for storing/retrieving objects from/to the schema, and automatically
publish web services relatives to schema. this will meets some
requirements:

- generation of hibernate hbm file, wsdl file and java classes (maybe
using hibernate tools)
- versioning
- user authorization & authentication
- localization
- transparent persistence an db-indipendence

in future it will planned:

- layout management
- searching
- communication between web services to sharing content


intended audience will be java developer; they will use this framework
to build distributed applications like web sites and distributed data
repositories.

what about your ideas?

Nicola

Sounds like a good idea, with lots of work, which I'm up for. Have you
taken a look at 'Java Community Process'? One of their projects is a
specification in progress for CMS development. It's not quite finished,
but I'd suggest following it.



Let me know what you think. I am interested.

Re: New Project: CMS Software in Java

thanks for the link. it seems to be exactly what i'm think for..

i don't think that this project need so much work, because it will
be structured in a plugin achitecture and many features will be
implemented in future. it will use
a lot of code generation tools and 3rd part APIs. in one day i've
done a 'core' propotype with some real functionality to test
some principles.

i hope that we could collaborate to share ideas on it, my
vision of this project is totally open and i will publish it
into a source repository site like sourceforge or freashmeat.

sharing ideas and work time will produce a stronger code.
you don't think so?

Completely agreed, let me know when you've got something posted so I can
check out exactly where you are going.
