java based CMS for NEWS site management - java

I am looking for a CMS which can manage NEWS site. It can also support video and audio data for news. I looked into some of the content management systems http://java-source.net/open-source/content-managment-systems but I am not able to find any suitable CMS for NEWS site.
I also need to integrate this CMS with mobile client (Android) for content display.
Kindly suggest any good CMS!
Thanks,
Raju

If you're open to look outside of Java, Wordpress can work very well.
I hear If you're looking for Java, look at this posting. Look at Liferay, which seems to be very popular, and has some news sites running on it.
I've also heard a bit of buzz about Weceem, which runs on Grails.

The referenced page included a link to magnolia and magnolia seems to have a news template. Android is almost always a challenge, because I guess that most CMS solutions heavily depend on big third-party libs (spring, hibernate, ...)

What HTML5 features does Droptiles by Omar AL Zabir support?

Id like to create an HTML5 web apps/site which could be consumed on Desktop, tablet and Mobile devices. I want it to be flexible in such a way that I could use PHP or Java with it. After intensive googling I found Droptiles (droptiles.com) by Omar Al Zabir. Since I was also thinking of incorporating the Windows Live Tiles look and functionality in my mobile web site, I think that it is a good choice. My question is what are the HTML5 features which are supported by Droptiles? I need to know this before commiting to this framework. So far reading its documentation I have not read of any html5 feature. I hope people with experience using Droptiles could answer my question. Thanks in advance.
By the way the html5 features that I consider as deal breakers are
offline storage
support for viewport meta tag ( or anything that would allow it to scale depending on the device used)
html5 input types (email,phone number, calendar etc)
If you have an existing website, you can load the website in c# with the webview element.
The droptiles is build with html5/javascript. So everything must work fine.
Only the HTML5 type=color is not supported in Windows IE engine

projects using Java and MarkLogic

I am new to MarkLogic Server and hence to have some hands on experience on MarkLogic I wished to get some help from the projects already developed using Java and MarkLogic.
On doing google search, I was unable to find suitable examples and hence I am looking forward to all of you.
Please help me.
Have a look at the developer site for resources. This page includes links to a number of java-based projects:
http://developer.marklogic.com/code
You can connect to MarkLogic over HTTP or using XCC, a library that is similar to JDBC. Here's the guide for XCC:
http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/5.0/books/xcc.pdf
and the javadocs are here:
http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/5.0/javadoc/index.html
Finally, there's a great archive of discussion from the developer list on MarkMail:
http://marklogic.markmail.org
Kelly
Kelly's answer is good. Drilling into the dev site a little, try some of the interactive tutorials at http://developer.marklogic.com/try/ninja/index
If you are interested in developing a REST-ful interface, try Corona at http://developer.marklogic.com/try/corona/index
For more sample applications, http://developer.marklogic.com/code has a good list: http://developer.marklogic.com/code/boing-boing might be a good one to start with, and its code is on github.

Resources for Android absolute beginner

I am a complete Android and C in general noob,
I have done a lot of web programming (which I am imagining is largely irrelevant here), some javascript (not jQuery just raw JS), I have also developed a .net app and done a course in java programming at uni last semester,
I know that Android uses Java in some places and C in others, I have looked at the SDK documentation here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html
My aim is to build a simple dashboard widget that pulls data on a minute-by-minute basis from a JSON/JSONP API, I have thus far struggled to find any decent tutorials for real Android noobs such as myself, especially in the app widget category, If anyone knows of any good resources (online or books are fine) consisting of basic good practises, start-up guides and quick tutorials to get me up to speed would be great as I have absolutely no idea where to start (especially in the C end of things), I have found the SDK documentation does have some good stuff but it isn't exactly what I am after (built on very old builds of Android and thus most of the cool new features aren't integrated or taken into account).
Any recommendations would be very much appreciated!
On a side note, If all goes well with Android I would also be looking to move onto iOS so Objective-C start-up and tutorials would be great (Visual Quick Pro guide style would be perfect!)
I personally started reading and understanding the Android Application Fundamentals. Then I downloaded the Android ADT (Development Toolkit), configured it on Eclipse as well as the SDK (including samples).
Once that's set up, I started with the ApiDemos. You find its source code directly in the downloaded SDK <sdk-install-location>/samples/android-9/ApiDemos. Try to debug the code in the IDE, modify it and see how it reacts.
Finally, have fun :)
Well, I started with the Android developer documentation:
http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html
If that isn't as organized as you'd like for a complete beginner, you might want to try the FAQ since they have a lot of good tutorial links there, which happen to be very thorough:
http://developer.android.com/resources/faq/index.html
Once you get the basics, which the tutorials will do for you, the first link to the developer guide will be where you'll spend most of your time. There are even links in the guide for getting started with your IDE of choice, or getting started using no IDE at all.
To get a more specific answer, you'll have to ask a more specific question.

Web Development further direction

Hi guys looking for some guidance, i have a knowledge of xhtml, css, javascript, php generated from education. But where do i go from here to reach an industrial standard? for example using those 4 languages, i have used notepad++ to write them. I'm particularly focusing on web development here.
What softwares should gain experience of?
for example where i work i looked at the intranet homepage source and i couldn't read it, i imagine it was autogenerated code, a great deal of it was javascript. I'm particularly focusing on web development here.
Where can i learn about building a website generated from a database? (which i've heard mentioned but dont know how to do) which i belive site like imdb are.
Also i was asked in an interview about Java web development and .NET web development. What does this encompass? .NET is the windows framework from what i've researched.
Any help would be fantastic, i'm just really confused and would love some clarification!
Your best bet from here is to get yourself into a junior role somewhere you can learn a development stack. You've mentioned PHP, Java and .NET in your post - it's time to get a job somewhere you can learn how to do it commercially.
If you don't fancy getting a job (this is the best option as someone can actually show you how to do things) then you'll need people to recommend you a good book that takes you right from the beginning. Any book that combines PHP and MySQL is good starting place if you want to write a website that stores data in a database - with the benefit of being able to play with all of these things for free while you are learning.
Notepad++ is great for developing at home, but if you want to do things really well, you'll need to quality IDE. Jetbrains have PHP Storm, which is a fully featured PHP development studio. Microsoft offer Visual Studio (including a free express edition) for developing .NET and there are also tons of options for developing Java, such as Eclipse.
Lots of people are going to start recommending one technology over another - but ignore any advice that seems to be too extremist as it won't benefit you. I am developing in all three technology stacks and wouldn't recommend one above another - they all have their place. Choose the language that feels right to you and when you've more confident you'll find that switching to other languages is reasonably easy.
What kind of job do you seek? Do you want to be a designer of front ends or a developer that can build layers in the front end, business layer and backend?
You say you know PHP, but dont know how to generate pages from the database. There are many articles on the internet about PHP and using databases (for example the MySQL database). You will have to learn more about scripting/programming in PHP and you need to learn about databases (designing tables, SQL, etc). Learn by reading alot and practising with it (build simple dynamic web-sites). I recommend to buy a good book on these topics.
From there you can learn a lot more about both PHP and databases. For example you can learn about advanced IDE's (editors), version control, performance optimization, advanced web interfaces with AJAX, etc..
Java and .NET are both programming environments. They can be used to built web-applications or desktop user interfaces, but that's only a small part of it. If you want to start with these you will have to learn about topics such as object oriented programming.

Where can I find a good example of Open-Flash-Charts and Java

There are a handful of open-flash-charts tutorials on the web, mostly php from what I can see. I know there is a Java helper class, but I haven't found documentation or examples.
The helper library is also includes in the ofcharts grails plugin.
Java/Groovy or Grails suggestions welcome.
thanks!
One of the single best sources I have found on it is here
From the site: "This site is now mainly used to post examples, help and patches for users requesting help in the OFC2 forum which I occassionally haunt."
Has proven invaluable in my developing Java/Grails charts with it. Bear in mind that you need to do little else to make the charts work than to generate JSON. To that end Grails is ideal - however what you will spend a lot of time working on is structuring that JSON data.
The linked site provides the most detailed JSON API documentation that exists for the different chart types OFC supports.
There is also a Java API reference open source project hosted on Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/jofc2/
This is the code embedded in the Grails plugin I've been using so the documentation has helped a ton!
