Hi All

I don't know if this is the correct forum for this, but I'm posting here as I'd like to do this in Tomcat with which I have some experience

What I'm looking for a very basic CMS (Content Management System). I don't need anything fancy such as WYSIWYG editing or forums etc, etc... and I don't want the thing to work off of a database either.

Maybe what I'm looking for is simply something that is OpenSource that will provide a navigation system, allowing one to add and remove navigation links to pages that I create myself.

I've had a look at varied ones such as
>> OpenCMS (to big and clunky and DB backend)
>> JetNuke (cool but way to much and DB backend)
>> MeshCMS (not bad ...no DB but to much work getting the site right)
>> JSPWiki, Magnolia and a few others I can't remember

Any ideas?

A few years back I actually wrote something for IIS (I know terrible... ) where I had a file called nav.xml and created an ASP page called default.asp where I applied XSL to the nav.xml file to create links. I would create my pages and simply update the nav.xml file.
I've had thoughts of simply porting this to Java/JSP but with my limited skills it's going to be to much work and I don't have the time. Anyway it was a bit unwieldy....

Thanks a mil
