I think the problem for APLAWS is it has been abandoned by Redhat. The original
architecture suited Redhat, designed to make money from services support. It
was never designed from the ground up as an open source solution, first it only
had Oracle support for example and Resin as the application server, plus
a proprietary build system and RPM deployments . By removing the need for Resin,
Oracle, Perl and building like a normal JEE application then this is a good
move. However I think it is too late. The outside world things are moving on,
specifications for content repositories that APLAWS does not have for example.
I know a number of local authorities are looking at WCM from another perspective,
they need a product that can deliver their services and is supported more easily
that APLAWS but has a minimum 5 year product life cycle. I think APLAWS does
work and is good for content management, but it does not meet what end users
are expecting in 2009.
