[opencms-dev] OpenCms and J2EE application integration

[Arash Kaffamanesh]

Oussama,
 
that could become very hard and would need a very deep knowledge of
OpenCms API and the Core. Could you provide some use cases and more info
about the integration and how it should look like after the integratrion
with your App?
 
Are you going to sell the integrated app afterwards?
 
I had the same discussion some times ago with OfBiz core developers
(Open for Business) , to integrate OpenCms into OfBiz and replace the
current cms component of it, the problem was the GPL license of OpenCms,
that doesn't allow to integrate OpenCms into OfBiz (I myself didn't
understand why, but I can trust them and accepted their opinion).
Perhaps I'm wrong. You can ask Alkacon or other Solution Providers for
this.
 
Regards,
Arash

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.

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.

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.

OpenCms is really designed to create and manage web sites. It could do
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.
