[opencms-dev] OpenCms and J2EE application integration

[Oussama Senhaji]

Arash,
 
Well I want access OpenCms from our J2EE App. End-users want know about OpenCms at all. I'll add "Powered by OpenCms" in our application as I already do for Jboss -)
 
The idea is to have a JSP taglib that encapsulate all OpenCms functions so that it can be used as a CMS/DMS engine from within our App for document validation (workflow), doc versioning and so on.
 
Regards,
Oussama

Ousamma,
 
Do you want to integrate OpenCms into your J2EE App or your J2EE App into OpenCms? How is you App. designed?
If you have JBoss Portal Server 2.0 and are custom to AOP, the live becomes more easier :-), See my previous email.
 
Regards,
Arash

Thanks Joe for your advise. 

I think that Lucene search engine is enough for our requirements for the moment. However, if we want to integrate a sophisticated CMS into our application (document versioning, workflow,...), I am wondering about using OpenCms. This is why I want to know if it provides any such API (JSP taglib,...) to make easier the integration.

what you want, but I think there is a lot of baggage there that you
won't require. If all you need is a document repository with a search
function and a web front end I suspect there may be better matches out
there, although none comes to mind right now.

On the other hand if you decide to use OpenCms for your intranet site,
then it's certainly worth considering.

If it's as simple as you describe (although I'm sure it's not :-)
consider writing it from scratch.
Tools such as Lucene search engine are very easy to integrate. It may
take some time but at least you know your code inside out and it's
100% the way you want it. If you delve into large systems like OpenCms
expect to spend at least a week or two learning about the API.
