[opencms-dev] Struts Integration

[Anil Patel]

I see value in integrating Struts with OpenCMS. Once this is done, All the
current enterprise applications written using Struts can have content
management.
I have seen Lot of time spent on templating/navigation and other things, It
can be easily saved if OpenCMS is used.
