Tight integraton of Spring and any CMS?

[pea1]

Has anybody out there successfully used Spring to create a tight integration between a content management system and a (Spring) app? I have no question that Spring can be used in this way, but I'm more interested in the experiences on the CMS side of things.

Please share your experiences...

Hi,

There are a lot of CMSs using Spring. Example:
http://jnuke.dev.java.net
http://appfuse.dev.java.net/

xwiki.org
pebble.org

Check out http://www.alfresco.org. The product is pretty slick and has been created by a team of former high ranking Documentum and Interwoven employees. It uses a combination of hibernate, spring, lucene and myfaces.

Btw, JSR-170 aka Java Content Repository tries to address this problem by providing a common interface when dealing with CMS. Most providers are trying to adhere to the standard and one can integrate use JCR from Spring through Spring Modules (http://springmodules.dev.java.net)' Jcr project.
