I thought a bit further, maybe servlet filters would be interesting to
integrate the request handling of opencms into a bigger application. For
samples, see:
    http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/11/19/filters.html

(I don't think, that you will be able to make the JSP taglib of opencms
work directly in another JSP processor; so you can only somehow fetch
data from opencms and/or use output from opencms and glue it together in
your main application)
