[opencms-dev] Simple guide to accessing a database from OpenCMS?

[Claus Priisholm]

Depending on the actual needs you should either do 'plain' data access 
as described in any JSP book, or if you need the data somehow to 
managed from the OpenCms' virtual desktop, go for a back office module.
The latter approach is described in PDF document (look for Content 
Definitions and Back office modules) on opencms.org and there's a 
couple of examples (vtab and dbtab modules, see 
http://opencms.al-arenal.de/ ) which describes the basics (all for 
OpenCms 5).
