Magnolia Content Management Suite is the leading Enterprise Content Management built on the revolutionary Java Content Repository Standard JSR-170.
Magnolia's main goal is ease of use for all parties involved in running a CMS.
It features a very flexible structure, platform-independence through the use of Java and XML, a simple to use API, easy templating through the use of JSP, JSTL and a custom tag library, automatic administrative UI generation, transparent and uniform data access to multiple data repositories through JSR-170, easy configuration through XML, easy application integration and easy deployment on any J2EE Server.
Here are some key features of "Magnolia":
Rich Text Editor - Magnolia's web-based rich text editor makes writing web pages as easy as using your favorite text processor. You can easily add links, set text to bold or italic, add numbered and unnumbered lists as well as a host of other features that you'd expect from a rich text editor.
Instant inline editing - You no longer need to switch between different navigation mechanisms to make a small change on a web page. Simply switch any browsed page to edit-mode for instant editing in the look and feel of your website.
Browser-based user interface - All authoring tasks such as managing the site hierarchy and inline editing are carried out in a browser. No more client installations, no platform dependencies.
Runs with any browser - The authoring environment works in all major browsers. Use the one you like best – not the one your vendor likes best.
Move, copy, reorder - Move or copy entire site-structures with ease. Reorder pages and page-content via drag and drop – directly in the browser.
Virtual static web addresses - Magnolia’s web addresses are indistinguishable from static URLs. This makes them easy to read, easy to communicate, easy to bookmark and easy to spider by search engines.
Role-based user management - Define roles for site-tree access and assign them to your users to make sure each user has only the rights that he or she should have.
