[opencms-dev] OpenCms Access like CmsShell - Experience?

[Wouter.DERUYCK at cec.eu.int]

Hi,

the OpenCmsHttpServlet is loaded on startup when the opencms web application
is loaded (add <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> to your web.xml).  The
OpenCmsHttpServlet is loaded, the init method gets invoked, my static
variable OpenCms of my wrapper class gets initialized. I can use my wrapper
class and hence any other OpenCms functionality through the CmsObject API in
any  JSP/servlet or any block of java code in the same JVM .  If you want to
use this wrapper class outside the JVM of the OpenCms web application , you
will need to functionality you need through a web service. In fact I did
that as well, because I use another web application (cocoon from apache) to
read and write  XML files , stored in  OpenCms,  to transform them to HTML.

Hi,

your approach is great but requires that OpenCms is triggering the
appliation. First you start OpenCms your wrapper is called automatically and
your
appliation do something. (Please correct me if I am wrong).

What would I have to do if OpenCms (inside Tomcat) and my application shall
run independently. The basic problem is that I cannot allow OpenCms to start
the application. The application should start OpenCms and connect to the
singleton instance. To put it in other words my application  should use
OpenCms
as a (very smart and function rich) persistency DB layer.

Any ideas?
