Hi,

I am evaluating RedHat CMS for building a content management system for mobile
content. This content would be essentially Java games, ringtones, wallpapers,
etc.

RedHat CMS concepts of content type extensions, workflow, lifecycle,
versioning, etc. work very well for this requirement. 

There are two areas where the thoughts of folks who have experienced CCM will
be of immense help...

1. Is it possible to use the CMS as an API and replace the presentation layer
with a custom implementation. For example, I would like to have a
"wizard-based" GUI with very different look and feel.

2. Is it possible to use the user management, access control components to
control access to non-CMS resources? e.g. a service provider user needs to
log-into an external application (J2EE based), query CMS, discover content
(ringtones) and define $$ price for them.

3. Can the workflow manage tasks that are external to the CMS? These tasks may
be defined as other CCM applications. The workflow step should launch non-CMS
GUIs (say a content testing wizard) and reflect completion of the task on the
CMS GUI.

I am fairly new to CCM and don't yet fully appreciate the flexibility of it's
design. Any help will be much appreciated!

thanks,
Giri
