I work daily with a variety of Content Management Systems. Wordpress, Expression Engine, Joomla, ZenCart, etc, etc, etc. ALL of the CMS’s I use are based on PHP. Well I finally have an interesting new project that requires something a bit different. I need to setup a J2EE (Java) based CMS that will integrate with the existing code at a major organization. After quite a lot of research I’ve discovered the merits of dotCMS.

DotCMS is a Java based CMS with an interesting line of features. I hear great things about it’s templating engine and flexability. While I’m a little concerned that public community support will be a bit weak, I’m excited to work inside a new platform. One of the best features of dotCMS is that it supports MySQL, Postgre, and Oracle right out of the box.

Did I mention it’s Open Source? Feels like a winner to me. Full report at noon . . . (or in several months).
