Hi everyone, One of the suggestions I received recently was to take a look at JBOSS Portal. This is an open source portal and content management framework that is bundled with Red Hat's products. A list of some of the technical features is here. http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.2/user-guide/en/html/features.html In a nutshell they have a document store that supports java standards (JSR-170), which is based on Apache Jackrabbit. The content management user interface is a portlet that implements a traditional file directory style document store. It is not likely we could re-use that code, but the underlying APIs could be useful for storing XML or graphics files, one of our requirements. JBOSS portal includes a message-board style forums interface. It turns out that this code is a java port of the PHPBB bulletin board, one of the most common bulletin boards. Again, there is a portlet which implements a user interface. The system has user management facilities and role-based permissions. From what I can tell, the permissions are organized around the portlet architecture, and do not extend down inside the portlets.
