CMS similar to Drupal with CCK, but in Java?

[tolland]

I have been using drupal, but I am constantly hitting its limitations. the drupal CCK (and associated modules) is a cool module in Drupal which allow you to specify new "content types" and add fields to them such as Images, text, check-boxes. Drupal then generates pages to add/edit and display these content types on the web. Obviously the benefit of this, is that the developer can specify a content type and leave all the forms/validation, database back-end/SQL, user permissions, and web display output to drupal.

I am guessing that lots of CMS systems support user definable content types, which are then rendered using form processing, editing and templates/blocks for display - however the list of Java CMS on wikipedia and java-source.net; [java-source.net...] is large and there are many more than I could hope to meaningfully review, so I am hoping someone could suggest any RAD tools for java CMS, and prototyping custom "content types"

Thanks,

Tom

ps some of the Java CMS systems that I am looking into are; one

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Tom!

I don't know of anything that has the equivalent of full CCK, but Graffiti CMS does let you create custom text entry fields. If you want full on media fields and node/user reference fields and that sort of thing, I'm not sure where you woudl go.

I'm sure there are others and perhaps some more advanced. I just don't know them.
