Take a look at the classes of the Opencms shell.
The cms shell offers a commandline interface to opencms by opening a 
separate set of database connections, independent from the opencms 
servlet. The commandline again seems to just translate any command into 
java method calls.

I do not know the code, but i would expect that it should be possible to 
use the cmsshell-code as a basis for accessing the opencms api directly 
from outside.

hope that helps.
