ObjectWeb and eXo Platform SARL today announced the availability of
the first complete open-source content management and repository
solutions that allow users to create, manage and store documents from
a customized, single point-of-access Web portal.
The newly available capabilities - eXo Enterprise Content Management
(ECM) and eXo Java Content Repository (JCR) - make it simple for IT
developers to create Web portals for document collaboration and
information sharing. The software is integrated as part of ObjectWeb
code base.
"After contributing the first JSR 168 compliant Enterprise Portal in
the market to ObjectWeb, today the eXo project is delivering one of
the very first JSR 170 implementations and the ECM upper stack to the
ObjectWeb consortium," said Francois Letellier, executive director of
the ObjectWeb consortium. "By leveraging several other consortium
projects, such as SpagoBI, Bonita, Lomboz and JOnAS to name a few,
the team is taking advantage of the ecosystem to create open source
collaboration that works and that we will continue to promote."
With the addition of eXo Platform to ObjectWeb's portfolio in
November 2004, the consortium added a web application suite layer to
its extensive roster of open-source middleware components, which
includes: JOnAS, the first non-commercial open-source application
server to be certified compliant with J2EE(TM) 1.4; Bonita, an
enhanced workflow engine; and SpagoBI, the Business Intelligence Free
Platform. Today this suite is growing with a strong ECM layer.
"The project development of the Venice District news portal has been
carried out with success using eXo Portal and the new eXo ECM and eXo
JCR components," said Gabriele Ruffatti, architecture and consulting
director of the Research & Innovation division at Engineering
Ingegneria Informatica. "The great added value of the platform comes
from the ECM and JCR integration within the portal environment which
makes our work much easier and greatly enhances our productivity."
"The new site, realized by means of a full open source stack,
provides more information and services to the citizens plus from an
ethical perspective, we prefer open source software," said Franca
Sallustio, chief of the IT department of the Venice District in Italy.
