It is truly unquestionably the best cms framework for Java. And it makes managing content with pluggable dynamic sections easy. It excels in many ways and features. but it is mainly aimed towards bigger sites. i had actually began the work of making my own cms/blog when i accidentally discovered Brix. i fooled around with it and quickly came to the following conclusion:
its to big for use in simple cases like a blog. making a blog in wicket is just hammering nails. making something similar in brix means adding alot more stuff and not needed wrapping. It is per example no need in my blog for changing or creating the templates when the application is running. templates can be predefined and switched in an administration panel.
My final conclusion is that i have not yet seen the best of Brix and that I still need some time playing with it and learning its internals.
I will absolutely recommend Brix for more advanced sites that need an active dialog with designers and webdevelopers. they wont even know that the page is written in Java because all they see is Xhtml!
