[opencms-dev] Accessing OpenCMS-API from external applications

[Joe Desbonnet]

My approach would be to set up some sort of "web service" talking XML
or some other format. Your external application can then talk to this
service using HTTP. Your service could be something as simple as a JSP
script running with a OpenCms project.
