Apache Lenya comes with the features you would expect of a modern Content Management System, such as Revision Control, Scheduling, a built-in Search Engine, separate Staging Areas and Workflow. Because Apache Lenya uses XML throughout, it can offer much more than other CMS that use XML only marginally. Some notable features include:
Apache Lenya comes with Browser-based WYSIWYG Editors that validate input against a W3C XML Schema. This prevents the invalid markup that other editors produce. Schema-based editors also allow to enforce web site style guidelines.
As Apache Lenya is based on Apache Cocoon it leverages all the benefits from a powerful XML Publishing framework such as multi-channel publishing, content aggregation even from external sources such as RSS.
The publication concept allows for reuse of the information architecture of a site and brings modularity to the content level.
The Apache Software Stack is quickly becoming the preeminent platform for building Internet applications. By leveraging the Apache Software Stack, Apache Lenya offers a robust, future-proof solution that preserves technology investments.
