Thanks Mark! Just one last thing: can you send me a snippet of code of an Action that gets some content from OpenCMS and write it in a JSP?

you will have to set the opencms servlet in your web.xml. But just look at
the opemcns war and it will become clear what needs to be moved.

Yeah! That´s the point: I´ll probably use STRUTS as the controller and I
want to get the content stored inside OpenCMS database. I´m also think in
keep OpenCMS´s backoffice in a diferent war file.

Well, as long as I understand, all I have to do is copy jar and properties
files (perhaps another config files as well) to my web archive and start
getting the content using OpenCMS´s API. Is it right? Do I have to do any
setup steps (such as configuring a servlet)? Can I use my app server´s
datasource to access the database instead of OpenCMS´s internal pool?

Thanks!

If I understand you right, I did this just by dumping the opencms jars and
config files, etc into my existing war. I just use opencms to manage the
view layer of an app with Struts as the controller. Works like a champ. Now
we are considering including the opencms stuff in all apps for the same
purpose. We're also starting to do lookups in the Struts actions to find
open cms resources based on parameters. For instance, clients can have the
same app with custom look and feel. So we can look up the opencms resaources
based on client name, etc, while the Struts code remains the same for all.

Long answer, but just dump the necessary jars and files into your war and it
will work.

Thank you very much for the answers. I just have one more question
(referenced to the first question): how can I keep the content inside
OpenCMS and just import it to a regular JSP in (perhaps) another webapp (not
opencms.war)? Just some pages in my application uses content manager, so
OpenCMS needs to be just another component. In other words, my developer´s
team don´t have to know OpenCMS is there, just a couple of guys who will
develop the content manager´s use cases.

Thanks again!

1- I´m desiging a enterprise portal and some pages need to have managed
content. How can I include content stored at OpenCMS´s VFS in a regular JSP?
I´ve tried to use taglibs but they are not writing anything in the output;
[Olli Aro]

Is you JSP in OpenCMS? If  not then you are not able to use JSP include,
since I think it only works within a single webapp. One way to do this would
be to write a JSP within OpenCMS which returns your content body and then
include this within your external JSP using Sockets.

2- Does OpenCMS have workflow (not tasks)? For example, some ordinary guy
create a content to publish and the manager has to approve this content;
[Olli Aro]

OpenCMS has couple of default groups for this Users and Projectmanagers. If
your new content management group inherits from users then they can create
content but not publish and if your content management group inherits from
the Projectmanagers they can publish as well as create content. So, this
gives you 2 tier workflow and then you can use the tasks interface for
creating communication between the content editors and managers.

3- Can I schedule some content to be automaticaly published? For example: I
want to schedule some news to appear in the front page of an intranet for 3
days starting at some pre-defined date;
[Olli Aro]

The version 5 does not have this functionality, however I have build a patch
for this and distributed it on this list couple times in past when someone
has been after the functionality (have not publish it as module because it
is a bit messy to install). I have heard that version 6 would also implement
this functionality.

4- I want to know somes cases, success uses of OpenCMS. Can anyone help me
with that?
[Olli Aro]

We have been using OpenCMS successfully with various public sector portal
projects in the UK since version 4.x and have been very happy with it. More
success stories can be found at
http://www.opencms.org/opencms/en/support/references/index.html in case you
have not been there already.

Hopefully this helps,

Olli
