Blandware announced the availability of Blandware AtLeap 0.5 Release Candidate 1, a multilingual free Java CMS (Content Management System) with full-text search engine. Blandware AtLeap is a framework which allows you to rapidly start your own Web application. Blandware AtLeap is destined to creating both content-based sites and web applications with complicated business logic.
Blandware AtLeap has the following features:
Simplicity of using. You can navigate on your site and choose editable areas by double mouse click or context menu. Blandware AtLeap has rich text formatting possibilities (changing fonts and colors, inserting lists, tables, images, flashes, links etc.) using WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor which allows to import texts from Microsoft Word.
Multilingual content. There is an ability to store content on several languages simultaneously in UTF-8 encoding. 100% of content are stored in the database. You can edit any data using web interface. AtLeap allows all available pages to be indexed on all languages by external search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc).
Full text search engine. The embedded engine provides ability to search on several languages (English, Spanish, Russian, German, French, Portuguese, Norwegian, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Czech, Greek etc.) taking into account inflexions and stop words. Indexing the following document formats: RTF, PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, XHTML, XML, TXT.
Individualization. AtLeaps CMS ideology does not restrict creative graphical design of the site. The customer does not want template, banal routine graphical design. Blandware AtLeap allows creating individual, unique, exceptional solution.
However nowadays the site has a lot except of content. The site can have complicated business logic. That's why the AtLeap project is initially based on AppFuse project which has already integrated modern open source practices.
Blandware AtLeap is:
Lightweight. It does not require (but can be run on) heavy and/or expensive EJB (Enterprise Java Bean) application server to run.
Browser. Blandware AtLeap is compatible with Internet Explorer 5.5+ and Gecko browsers such as Mozilla 1.3+, Netscape 7+, FireFox 1.0+.
Stable
Multi-user work, implemented using application transactions (optimistic concurrency control). As for big texts you can even merge simultaneously edited content.
Database transactions: rollbacks and pessimistic locking.
The big texts are still saved even the HTTP session is invalidated.
The input forms are validated at server and client side.
Transparently saves state information and repopulates forms when they are redisplayed.
Prevents of double form submission.
Bidirectional relationships between links and resources in order to prevent creating broken links and deleting used resources.
Free and open source. It can be run on free open source software. Blandware AtLeap is free (under Apache 2.0 license) and its open sources provide many good design patterns and examples.
