I think with the work you are doing, people looking for a JEE solution for content
management will be able to just download and run, something that was very difficult
with APLAWS without skilled developers. (NB many local authorities do not have
any developers).

To be constructive, I think areas that would make a difference is easy to set
up and deploy sub site, with easily modifiable templates, it sounds like Mandalay
solves the latter problem.

>So, if we decide to replace APLAWS persistence by JCR, we should use a really
free implementation like Apache's jackrabbit.
Agree, it's not clear what Alfresco are doing, except to try and undercut products
like Documentum and make money via support, training rather than straight licence
fee. As a WCM product Alfresco is a long way from being complete.

Performance is an issue which we fixed by buying a big expensive DB server and
by implementing a severe squid apache layer. So another area is to sort out
caching/performance, We have a lvs -> squid -> apache -> tomcat configuration
and it's difficult for publishers to know if their published page is actually
live!  On our Intranet we went back to simpler apache with modcache -> mod proxy
-> tomcat, which is fast and easier to deploy and a lot less painful than LVS
route.

PS I applaud you for the work you are doing on APLAWS!
