[opencms-dev] Challange! External Program access to OpenCMS Instance...

[ambiesense at gmx.de]

Hi,

some time ago I posted the question about the possibility to perform the
following szenario, which I think is quite a challange:

On the Server Tomcat is running with OpenCMS 5.0 inside. Also on the server,
there is a Java program which accesses this OpenCMS instance through the
Tomcat servlet engine (or otherwise). The program should be able to access all
runtime (instance) information like user/usergroup info as well as static info
like files etc. The program would log in, access files (read/write) do
administration etc. and log out after finishing its tasks. There could be more
then one program to access the same instance and work similaniously. These
programms would work like users simulaniously.

How could this be archived?? 

The only, not tested, possiblity offered at that time was using an apporach
similar to what the CMSShell is doing. However this approach does not work
really like a client since it builts a server with all the database connection
and other ballast. I basically want just an access point to the instance
though the API. This means basically an access the CMSObject by using normal API
interface (and not via JSP).

Does somebody has any ideas of how this could be done? Does OpenCMS offer a
way of doing that?

Any help would be hightly appreciated,
Ralf
