Suggestions for adding content management functionality?

[Ger-Jan te Dorsthorst]

Hi,

What would be a good way to add some content management functionality to
a (Spring MVC) Appfuse application? I'm not looking for integration with
a full-fledged CMS - no need for things like workflow or multi-channel
output. It's just that in some cases, clients ask for a reasonably easy
way to add/edit contents of parts of the web app, for example a set of
help pages or a news section. Have any of you implemented this sort of
scenario?

You might take a look at Alfresco.  This is an open source content
management system and some of the developers of EMC's Documentum worked
on this.  A quick way take a look at it is with the VMWare virtual image
from JumpBox.  See

http://www.jumpbox.com/app/alfresco

There are other content management systems available there as virtual
images that you can look at as well.

I have not integrated any of these into AppFuse.  Alfresco should not be
too difficult as there are good APIs available.

Post back to the group with what you learn.

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid having to integrate a full CMS, but if the
APIs are clear and integration can be done quickly, it doesn't matter
that I import some additional/unused functionality.

I will.
