Magnolia CMS – Java based Open source content management system

Magnolia CMS is a well documented, free, easy-to-use enterprise-grade open source Content Management System based on the Java Content Repository standard (JSR-170) and uses SQL based database backend for stores the data. It specially designed for broadcasters and large organizations to manage their broadcast content.

It has enterprise-grade templating features for multi-site, multi-language and multi-domain scenarios. Administrators will have the option to ensure that editors access a site through a specific domain and edit only the part of the content structure that resides at the specified domain. To ensure an integrated browsing experience, URLs will be adapted seamlessly by Magnolia CMS to always reflect the domain.

It also support for Groovy, which allows for a much more agile approach to implementing new functionality for your web site, while retaining the full power, scalability and security of the Java stack. The new optional tag library provide a cleaner, leaner, simpler set of components. This new tag library implementation is separated from the UI component rendering.
