[opencms-dev] convert Vignette sites to OpenCMS

[Koroup Ear]

Hi Shawn,

 

As a Vignette Ex-VPS and having been working with openCMS for about a
month or so, I believe it is possible to migrate a project from Vignette
into openCMS.  However, it will require customization/modification of
current Vignettte Project to conform to the openCMS.

 

Just to keep in mind, openCMS only have basic java classes with a
specific number of method calls that you can make.  On the good side of
it, you can enhance those to meet your needs and openCMS caching
mechanism is much much better that Vignette.

Subject: [opencms-dev] convert Vignette sites to OpenCMS

 

We have a bunch of sites running on Vignette, and all of them have a
very complex, unique content management system.  Each has its own unique
datamodel and content management application, as well as content display
application.

We are considering moving away from Vignette and to an open source CMS
that supports JSP/Java. 

Does anyone have any experience porting over complex sites to OpenCMS?
It is absolutely necessary that we keep the current datamodels of the
sites, as well as all the functionality of the sites' content management
applications.

Does anyone out there have experience with this?  Is this even possible?
Or will I have to adopt the OpenCMS methodology/model of doing content
management?

Thanks, 

Shawn
