Open-source Java-based framework that has many of the common features built in out-of-the-box?

I am looking for something like Drupal in Java -- not Drupal as a CMS but rather as an application programming framework.

For example I would like to get out the the box:

1. A Login screen
2. The ability to define new roles
3. The ability to tie permissions (capabilities) to roles
4. The ability to assign roles to specific users (and revoke roles)
5. Th开发者_如何学Goe ability to self-service passwords (reset ones own password)
6. An ability to generate a CRUD app
7. A menu system (that allows you to define menus)

My understanding is that Ruby-on-Rails provides this type of stuff.

Thanks.

Have a look at Liferay.

It has all you mentioned and a powerful built-in CMS, user management, lots of out-of-the box "applications" (portlets) to add to your pages, lots of themes to choose from, menus and all.

Basically, you can build a complete dynamic site with all the basic functionalities without writing one line of Java code (or any kind of code).

If it is for Web development, go take a look at the Play! framework.

You might also look into Backbase http://www.backbase.com/

I have no experience with it, but it's all the rage at my wifes company.
