jAPS - java Agile Portal System is an “agile” open source solution for the creation of enterprise information portal and service oriented internet and intranet portals for Government Agencies.

jAPS is developed on Java EE platform and allows to build portals for Public Administration (PA) accessible (Law Stanca, January 9, 2004).

jAPS is characterized by two main components:

Agile Portal System: an engine delivery of content and integration of application services
AgileCMS: Content Management System

jAPS is beyond mere CMS. Thanks to its flexibility can be used as a platform / framework for creating web-based applications, system-based authentication and authorization of the engine, as integrated services system (CMS is itself a service).

jAPS is released under the GNU GPL (General Public License) Version 2.

jAPS is not really a content management system, but a framework you can use to develop your very custom web portal, with an integrated content management system as well as other useful services. And a complete, powerful, flexible environment allowing you to write any service is needed.

The main site can be found at http://www.japsportal.org, and an online demo of jAPS is available at http://demo.japsportal.org/

jAPS comes in three different flavours, available for downloading at the SourceForge.net project site:

jAPS src is the source of the framework, and the starting point for creating a web portal from scratch
jAPS demo is a package containing an instance of the framework named demo. The package contains all the needed files to import demo as a Java Project into the Eclipse IDE and then deploy it under the Apache Tomcat servlet container as a web application.
jAPS demodist is a special customization of demo coming with Tomcat, the Hipersonic database system and a couple of useful scripts. That is: download, extract, run startDemo.sh or startDemo.bat, point your browser to http://localhost:8080/demo/ and relax.
