I'm not an expert, but don't valves allow sharing of state between j2ee web
applications?

What version do you use?

If you use the current "stable" release, there is no easy way (without core
code modifications) to get a CmsObject.

This has changed in the current development version (CVS HEAD). In this
version you can get access to a CmsObject using the OpenCms singleton
Object (e.g. using method OpenCms.initCmsObject(String unsername). This
just requires that OpenCms shares an application context with your
application.

Subject: [opencms-dev] OpenCMS and portlets.

 Hi,
 I'm newbie in OpenCMS.

 I'm developing a portal using portlets and we decide to use OpenCMS only
 to be the Content Management Service.

 To access resources I've got to use the OpenCMS API, so far so good, but I
 don't know how to get the CMSObject.
 So far I only see examples in JSP, that use CmsJspActionElement class to
 get it, but I'm using portlets (Java) and I don't how to get the CMSObject
 to access resources,

 If anyone has an idea...

 Thanks in advance.
