We are a java shop. We are committed to J2EE, Java, JSP as the best web delivery system for what we do. Recently I was asked to implement blogging software. Without a doubt, the best open source JSP blogging software is Apache Roller
Apache Roller is a full-featured, multi-user and group-blog server suitable for blog sites large and small. It runs as a Java web application that should be able to run on any Java EE server and relational database. Currently, Roller is best supported on Tomcat and MySQL -- but users have reported success running Roller on Glassfish, Websphere, JBoss, Resin, Geronimo, Derby, PostgreSQL, and Oracle.
Here are some of Roller's key features:
- Multi-user blogging: can support tens of thousands of users and blogs
- Group blogging with three permisson levels (editor, author and limited)
- Support for comment moderation and comment spam prevention measures
- Bloggers have complete control over blog layout/style via Apache Velocity-driven templates
- Built-in search engine indexes weblog entry content
- Pluggable cache and rendering system
- Support for blog clients that support MetaWeblog API
- All blogs have entry and comment feeds in both RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 formats
