Open-source Java and industry standards

The Enonic CMS platform is based on the best-of-breed open-source Java technologies and commits to industry standards. Enonic combine these tools into a flexible and unique CMS.

Java and similar technologies come with a high level of complexity and possibilities. We believe there is a distinct difference between the life cycle and development of sites and applications. This has lead us to the conclusion that a CMS should provide a high level of configuration and scriptability which, when required, can play in harmony with Java.

Dynamic CMS

Enonic CMS is highly dynamic in the aspect of administrative tasks, such as configuring a page with different content and portlets, but also in adding and removing fields for a content type on the fly – and even to coding changes.

Enonic’s integrated front-end portal directly addresses this by clearly separating development into different layers and technologies. The Enonic portal is primarily based on scripts, XML and XSLT. This enables you to utilize front-end developers to implement a wide set of features without even touching Java. Thanks to XML portability, accessing data in remote locations can be done swiftly.

Furthermore, Enonic CMS virtually eliminates the complexity of caching, http headers, and authentication to let you focus on more important issues.

Java Plugins

The portal interacts with Java through the Enonics plug-in framework. The framework defines various types, from the servlet-like ”controllers” to the more strict ”function libraries”. However, the core idea is to put Java in control when it is needed. Typically usage scenarios are business logic, transactions, and custom integrations.

Conclusion

Enonic CMS lets you tap into the enormous potential of Java, but helps you decide when you really need it. This is achieved by a high level of configurability, combined with clear and separate layers in combination with a Java plug-in framework.

On an everyday basis, the result is shorter time from idea to production.
