Your OpenEdit Software
OpenEdit is a JAVA based, open source software used to build powerful, yet lightweight web applications. Licensed under a royalty free, perpetual and transferable GNU LGPL license, Open source provides freedom on setting up your systems as you wish and freedom in the long term.
Over the years, OpenEdit has been refined and implemented for numerous web application projects, mostly used in enterprise global environments. OpenEdit has evolved from a pure content management solution, into a web application framework used to create and maintain dynamic websites and custom web applications, such as Content Management, Digital Asset Management, E-commerce, Social Networks, Blogs, and more.
Built from the ground up with Velocity, OpenEdit Framework uses Spring for Java objects and actions. Uses an XML based architecture, however – OpenEdit also has a Pluggable Database Storage module using Hibernate, if your preferred application requires a database.
OpenEdit has AJAX enabled pages and previews which make everything dynamic. Works with J2EE applications and runs JAVA Servlet in order to run with other applications. The OpenEdit framework uses nested layouts, XML metadata, actions associated with URLs, server side scripting and Velocity/JSP.
Each feature of OpenEdit is self contained with as few interdependencies as possible. The idea is to allow any feature of OpenEdit to be able to interact with, or even within, other parts of your application.
OpenEdit can be easily installed on Windows, Linux, Solaris and OSX.
