http://helma.org/Helma is an open source object publishing server written in Java.
It uses Javascript as its scripting engine, and provides an embedded object database to persist the objects it publishes.
It appears that Helma is similar in concept to
Zope.
They try to move parts of their Javascript scripting to Python.
