CMS Evaluation Summary I got an interesting comment on one of my blog posts recently.
Matt, I'd be curious to hear why Virtuas is using Drupal and not the same Java stack they advertise on their home page (i.e. one or more of Geronimo/Tomcat/Spring/Hibernate/MyFaces/JBoss). I realize the standard answer is "because Java is for heavyweight sites and PHP is the right tool for the job" but I'm wondering if there was more to the decision that just that.
My Reply:
The reason we chose Drupal was from an evaluation that I did - where I compared a number of open source CMS solutions:
Drupal was simply the best tool for the job when we were looking for a solution.

AppFuse News: GlassFish, free demo hosting for java.net projects and Facelets Some interesting news from the AppFuse world:
- Jerome Dochez, the GlassFish architect, has written a tutorial on how to run Spring in GlassFish. This was followed up by Vince Kraemer and his how to run Equinox on GlassFish (this should work on AppFuse as well). Thanks guys - these are great write-ups.
- java.net now offers free hosting for project demos - the first demo deployed is from the AtLeap project, which was originally created from AppFuse.
- Thomas Gaudin has created a version of AppFuse with JSF + Facelets. Nice work Thomas! Hopefully we can get this (and ADF Faces) integration into the next release.
