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

[ambiesense at gmx.de]

Hello Wouter,

can another Java program (started indepentendly with "java myApplication")
call the static Wrapper embedded as part of the OpenCMS server? If this is
possible, then I am fine.

I think this is more a Java question then a OpenCMS question. I appologise
if I might have confused you.
