Where I work we had a bespoke CMS created for us that runs in WebSphere (it's actually written in Orion, the J2EE engine that's in 9iAS, but why use something simple and cheap when you can use something more expensive and less usable) and stores the data in an Oracle database.

We had many of the same arguements abotu why re-invent the wheel and why pay the developers more to port the product from one application server platform to another. Unfortunately management and stupidity will trump knowledge and intelligence any day.
