Hi Andreas,
Graffito looks very promising to me, but I'm not sure how well it will perform if used standalone. Much of your current work seems to be directed towards support of portals, more specifically the Jetspeed server, and towards JCR on the persistence layer - FileSystemContentStore is, in essence, empty. Also it looks to me that you support documents with binary content only. The suggested Article/News module does not seem to exist yet.
This is not difficult to build new services to manage specific content like articles, news, ... I have something for a news management but I'm too busy to review it in details. We can work together on that.
Thus I'm not sure if my system would benefit from using Graffito. Do you have any thoughts or insights on this?
Graffito fit to your needs (if you are agree to develop new components). Again I can help. this is not an important work.
Are there any projects you know about which already use standalone Graffito?
Yes, I'm using graffito on customer site. It is a Struts web application running on Spring.it is a specific document management and publication system for an important european institution. Unfortunatly, you have to defined your own user interface if you want to use Graffito in standalone mode. I'm very amazing by the GWT web framework and I think it is should be nice to have some Graffito & JCR UI components for this one. Right now, it is difficult to support all existing web framework.
Also, does Graffito already support version 2.0 of Spring, which was released just two days ago (don't blame me, my collegues decided to switch ignoring my needs and without applying any caution it seems :-/)?
