The Melati Team are pleased to announce the first beta release of Melati. Melati can be downloaded from SourceForge (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/melati) or http://melati.org Melati is a tool for building Java-programmed websites backed by a database (currently only Postgresql 7). It provides the following features: o- a generic database administration system, allowing the site manager to edit both the contents and the structure of the database through a simple web based interface. o- rapid templating mechanism, using "templets" (sub-templates) for rendering interface elements (eg HTML input boxes, dropdowns), and providing an easy interface with persistent objects. o- close integration with the Webmacro templating engine (www.webmacro.org). o- cookie-based or HTTP-based login provoked automatically by access control failure. o- full integration with POEM (Persistent Object Engine for Melati). POEM provides: o- industrial-strength open source object database technology, delivering ODMG 3.0 compliant Java support. o - an API where the database to be seen as a collection of Java objects, via a (genuinely!) easy-to-use transparent persistence layer on top of JDBC. o - a low level security model allowing restrictions to be placed on tables, rows and fields. Melati is Open Source Software and is released under a dual ASF Style / GPL licenses.
