Hi..
Thanks for your quick response..
I feel AWE will be good for my task.. But I have a small question..
Whether we can have styles to a web page using AWE text editor.. because, I got the sample "customer" application up and when I tried to access using http://localhost:8080/customer, I can able to edit the webpage successfully. But what about the css styles?

In share, in the discussion forum text editor, we have a option called "edit html source".. So it will be easy for us to define an html page there with styles. But what about in the AWE text editor. There is no such "edit html source" option.. Is it possible to edit our web page with exact css styles we wish to have using AWE?

With the AWE it is possible to define a form that you wish to use to edit your content. You can define different forms for each type of content that you store in the repository. By default, we use the TinyMCE editor for editing HTML content fields, and this can be configured in many different ways to suit different purposes, including adding in custom styles to its drop-down list.

I recommend upgrading to the latest community edition (either 3.4.a or the latest nightly build which can be downloaded from http://dev.alfresco.com/downloads/nightly/dist/), and then you can try out the Web Quick Start. This makes use of the AWE, so may be of help to you. There is another forum post that may help you get over one problem that we know about when installing Web Quick Start for the first time.
