We are looking for a CMS with following features in mind.
java based to ease our portal integration
Wysiwyg editor inside browser
struts "inside"
no source code publication mandatory after integration
We would like to know what the community here would recommend.
Thks in advance
how about Alfresco? http://alfresco.com/
I have worked with it in the past, works pretty well once it is installed correctly.
Check out Liferay. Java based but it's more than CMS. It's a portal.

I am new in breezejs and just have to know whether it supports Java Server like Tomcat or not..
I mean I saw 100's of examples using Breeze and Asp.net server but didn't saw any example using Java server, please shed some light on this;
well this was on the breeze FAQ
Based on your documentation, it looks like Breeze is hardwired for .NET. You're even using Visual Studio in your samples.
Yes, our initial launch shows Breeze using Visual Studio with a .NET Entity Framework back-end.
To be clear, Breeze does not require .NET, but this is currently how we have the data provider hooked up through WebAPI. We are planning to support other back-ends and front-ends, as well as show IDEs other than Visual Studio. Your feedback on UserVoice helps us prioritize these features.
Work is well underway on a Java backend for Breeze, using Hibernate and JAX-RS. Please check out breezejs-hibernate.
The NorthBreeze sample is a web application (WAR) that uses the breezejs-hibernate library. We build it with Maven and deploy it on Tomcat. It uses Angular for the UI bits. It's still pretty rough.
Ankur, please add this request to the breeze User Voice ( and vote for it). We take these suggestions seriously when determining what features/samples to work on next.
in your opinion, what is java web framework that most close to or similar to the paradigm of the Ruby on Rails (like convention over configuration, DRY, noXML, etc), but without the need to learn scripting languages like Groovy. And of course have a great documentation and community.
Take a look at Grails which follows the paradigms of Ruby on Rails.
You can take a look to Play Framework it follow MVC and RESTful architectures.
Maybe too late, but have looked at Spring Roo?
This question is a bit old, but this information may still be useful for people looking for a good java framework:
Try ninja framework (http://www.ninjaframework.org). I have tried various java web frameworks and this one was by far the easiest to setup and use. Just follow the tutorial on their page.
Developing with it is very easy, ninja web projects are standard Maven projects so you can open them with any ide that supports Maven. For example, you can open the project with Netbeans, and have the development server running in a commandprompt/terminal window. Any time you save your changes the development server will pickup your changes and restart very quickly.
Or you can use a standard text editor if you want.
Very comfortable to develop with. You can also debug very easily from Netbeans (http://www.ninjaframework.org/documentation/debugging.html)
Note: if you use an ide like netbeans, you dont actually run the project from netbeans, you just edit your changes on the ide and save. The development server picks up the changes automatically.
I think Stripes is what you are after.

You can also take a look at Java on Rails

We are developing new web application and we must integrate help in it. Does anyone know any good opensource help application that we can integrate it in our system or is better to develop help center from scratch? We are using java 1.6. Help must be related to articles, forms,...
Thx
Some years ago, I worked with the Eclipse Help System. Eclipse is not necessarily needed to integrate it in your project. Its helpfiles are also based on .html pages. Unfortunatly I dont know if they continue developing it, but at this time it already provided all the aspects you would expect from a help system.
There are a lot examples out there on how to integrate it in your project, but its possible, that maybe there are already better frameworks today.
We use JavaHelp and we are happy with it. We use docbook for document source and XSLT to generate the JavaHelp (and PDF and HTML versions).
JavaHelp is "GNU General Public License - Version 2 with the class path exception", as mentioned at the bottom of https://javahelp.java.net/ Note the link is broken, google finds this copy of the license:
http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html
In summary, the Jar can be included in closed source applications.
Sorry, can't add a comment to other people's posts because I don't have enough points.
Try working on a licensed version of Author-it or Adobe RoboHelp. Both tools are very good content management systems allowing users to concurrently work on the same source. You can also publish the content to Word, PDF, HTML, XML, Java Help and Oracle Help outputs.
I am building a website in Eclipse Helios using Google App Engine and want to implement ASP.NET Master Page like functionality for common code across different pages. Is there something similar in Java?
Updated:
I am not a Java developor, after looking at the links in the posted answers, I think Facelets and Tiles Framework offer the template functionality. Which one is the preferred one? Both can run on GAE.
I'm not very familiar with asp.net but a short read on master pages suggest to me that what you are looking for is JSF Facelets. Facelets allows you to define a template with default content and points where template clients can insert there code.
Template clients can fill in these insert points but don't have to fill in all of them or they can add new ones. So you can also build templates on other templates.
Here is an article which should you give a better idea of what JSF templating can do.
Instructions for setting up JSF on GAE are here
I'm not sure about GAE but here's an SO question that has suggestions for Java EE applications.
Update
Here's a list of stuff supported in GAE and according to this SO answer, it seems to support certain versions of JSF as well.
Im porting a project from php to java. The project is a web-app based on php and ajax techniques with a javascript front-end. What java-frameworks would you use for something like this?
Does the result have to be written in Java, or does it just have to run on the JVM? In the latter case, you might want to consider Grails, which uses Groovy, a Java-based dynamic language that compiles to Java byte code and has full access to the Java standard API.
How well do you know Java?
Why are you porting it?
I can't really tell based on your description, but there are lots of Java web frameworks out there. Pick one. I prefer Spring.
I fear that you're about to be very disappointed. I anticipate a lot of questions like "Why can't I do X in Java? It's easy in PHP!"
Apache Wicket is a possible java based web framework you might consider. The default would be the java servlet and jsp frameworks.
without seeing the source code - you will need a complete rewrite. just "porting" will probably not work.
out of all available frameworks i'd recommend two: wicket if you want clean lightweight technology. with ajax. jsf/seam if you are in a corporate environment where it it easy to get tons of experienced developers.
I really like Stripes.
There's a really good book out on it too. Stripes ... and Java Web Development is Fun Again.
This question seems to come up alot. Related:
What Web Application Framework for Java is Recommended?

Does it make sense to use a framework for a simple java web app?
What language/platform to choose for a new web application?
In my opinion you would still do the same but generate the html with JSP and javabeans instead of php. javascripts and ajax will still work without a problem if the outputed html is the same.
It depends by the size of your project, the features and your resources.
If the project have'nt a lot of particular needs you can use Struts. Thsi is a stable framework, not really advanced but simple and powerfull for the development.
Another frameworks more recent and advanced are Spring and Wicket.
Before you start, I recommend you to do a check-list of your need:
Do you must porting a O/R mapping too?
Have you a stable developer knowing Java/J2EE?
Do you think to add some feature during the porting or in short-run?
etc etc
good luck! :)
I would port it to GWT
Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a development toolkit for building and optimizing complex browser-based applications. Its goal is to enable productive development of high-performance web applications without the developer having to be an expert in browser quirks, XMLHttpRequest, and JavaScript. GWT is used by many products at Google, including Google Wave and the new version of AdWords. It's open source, completely free, and used by thousands of developers around the world.
