[opencms-dev] opencms verse JBoss Portal Server?

[Mick Knutson]

That is what I was afraid of.... :-(

It seems I am spending more time figuring out "Which One", verse actually
getting to it....

I guess my biggest constraint in version 1 is that I have thousands of
musical shows I am cataloging, then playing for registered users
(listeners).
In version 2, I need the ability to integrate those shows into an e-commerce
store to allow people to buy various songs that are within each of those
shows.


What about JBoss Portal with Alfresco CMS? Did you compare that? Search is
important to me as well, and Alfresco looks like they have Lucerne.
