[opencms-dev] MySQL access from OpenCMS JSP / Java Bean

[ambiesense at gmx.de]

Hi,

Backgroud information: I am using OpenCMS 5.0.0 with Tomcat 4.0.24 and MySQL
4.0.13 on a Windows XP environment. I have a JSP file which calles a Java
Bean. The user accesses the JSP file, the JSP file basically forwards
information to the Java Bean. The Java Bean does the main functionality and returns
the results to the JSP where it is displayed.

Now I want to put some of the results into the MySQL database directly
without using OpenCMS and its file structure. I am familiar with JDBC and
databases in Java. However I have some OpenCMS and MySQL related questions:

Is is possible to have several instances of MySQL?
If yes, do I need to access the same instance as OpenCMS?
If yes, how can I do that?
Does somebody have a very simple portion of Java code of an example? I think
an example would solve all other questions here very easy :-)

Thank you,
Ralf
