Hi,

Melati 0.6.0 is available from http://www.melati.org/
This release enables Melati to be used with MySQL.

Melati is a tool for developing websites backed by any SQL Database,
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 web interface.

o - An object layer where the database is seen as a
collection of Java objects.

o - Transparent cacheing of commonly used records, selections and
"computed objects", via a (genuinely!) easy-to-use transparent,
transaction-safe, persistence layer on top of JDBC.
(Prefiguring J2EE by some two years - and better!)

o - A low level access control system based on a user/group/capability
model, allowing restrictions to be placed on tables, rows and fields.

o - Cookie-based or HTTP-based login provoked automatically by access
control failure.

o - Cached widget templating mechanism, using "templets" (sub-templates) for
rendering interface elements (eg HTML input boxes, dropdowns).

o - Contributed packages for messageboards, shopping trolley
and example code for full text indexing and much more.

Melati is developed and maintained by the PanEris collabrative,
and has an active mailinglist on sourceforge.

Melati now supports any of Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL Server,
simultaneously if required.

Similarly Melati supports both Webmacro and Velocity,
or both at the same time ie you can use the built-in
Admin Suite (written in WebMacro) even if your template engine is
Velocity.

Melati has now been in production use for two years with no
problems.
See for example:
http://www.bibliomania.com/ - Massive copyright free book site
http://www.jammyjoes.com/ - Online toystore
http://www.pianosonline.co.uk/ - Online Pianos
http://www.fleetlog.com/ - Dynamic tracking of vehicles
http://www.londonqarc.co.uk/ - NHS information site

Melati is a very nice tool and we are very keen to have more
people use it.
Melati can be used under the GPL - or any other licence
you need.

Once you have tried it you won't go back!

yours sincerely
