Java Classes for working with a Movable Type 2.63 MySQL database
Do you have a Movable Type blog? Do you wish you had the ability to write your own software to work with your data? Would you like to migrate away from the Perl- and filesystem- based Movable Type software, and generate the HTML for the pages of your blog on the fly, possibly using technologies like Cocoon?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, then Platen may be of interest to you. At this time, Platen is very simple, and just a proof of concept for using Hibernate to access a MySQL database backend for a Movable Type blog with Java. But, the intent is to eventually be able to write an alternative front-end to that database so it is not necessary to use the Perl-based Movable Type software to render the blog web pages.
