We're almost at a Java Typo3!?

My strategy is to have really good UI-Logic-data separation (via the 
resource object). So a Java UI would be sent (via SOAP or whatever - 
doesn't matter and could vary from installation to installation and even 
between parts of the UI!) everything required to work on the 
content/record. To save changes the Java UI would send SOAP (...) back 
and Php would create objects for each of the "reesources" to be 
changed/saved.

The resources system also does workflow - completely hierarchical and 
infinitely customisable!

Still got to get to grips with Java though
