Hi,
We have been using Stripes for the last 5 years and love the framework. The
sites we have used it on are all transactional (think CRM) with back-end
integration to other systems for customer profile management, account
management etc.
We also have a fairly static public facing web site using wordpress CMS
that was created by our marketing agency. We now have a need to add a lot
more transactional functionality to the public facing site for customers to
buy goods and services, manage their accounts etc and the marketing team
want to keep their ability to manage and change content on the site as they
see fit without code/JSP changes. We now have to make a call on these
possible options:
1) Try and use PHP/Wordpress to do what we are so good at doing in Stripes.
We are a Java shop and have lots of boiler plate code and framework around
Stripes so thinking of now doing this all over again in PHP is scary
2) Use a completely new Java web framework with a CMS and then find a way
of adding our back end integration etc into that web framework. Thinking
here of things like Drupal, HippoCMS, dotCMS etc
3) Find a CMS with a tag library or similar that can be used on Stripes
JSP's to pull in content served from the CMS to supplement whats being
resented by the JSP. We then get to use Stripes and have all the
integration done already (e.g. binding into domain models). We also get the
benefit of giving marketing areas of the site where they are free to change
images, text etc etc in a CMS with approval processes and ability to
publish changes without any need for redeploys etc
I really really want to find a good CMS for option (3). I'm sure my
requirement is not unique (power of Stripes for transactional web sites but
with a CMS for marketing to update parts of the site they control). Anyone
out there with any suggestions?
Thanks so much
