no, it isn't. i've played around with joomla because we were looking
for a enterprise, easy to use, multilanguage and multisite cms. my
company thought about typo3, but the people who'll use the cms aren't
able to handle typo3.

the only point joomla matches is "easy to use".

the reason why we kicked it out: you need a hack to make it multisite-
ready. that's absurd, i don't wanna install an extra-cms for every
single domain (and we've a lot of domains!) and i don't wanna use not-
supported, inofficial hacks in my companys cms. there is a huge list
of vulnerabilities in joomla (most of them in addons, not in joomla-
core).

if you're able to script jsp, take a look at opencms. if you've time
and you're cold blooded, get typo3 (it's an awful monster...). if
you're working on a really large ecommerce-system, take a deeper look
on some commercial products, f. e. livelink.
