[opencms-dev] Question: Best way to integrate OpenCms with otherapplications

[Eli Irl]

Hi,
Thank you for your answer, like for example your at Business Directory if 
you want to request by category, do you have another application in tomcat 
which is responsable to get the information from legacy databases?

In my case with the shopping cart I have now servlets to search and show the 
products of my production databases and would like to place it in a page 
generated for OpenCMS but the rest of the information: banners for 
publicity, offers, images would be stored and managed in OpenCms VFS.

I spent few months evaluating CMS to be able to do it and the most flexible 
and clear I found it was OpenCms but because I am not experienced developer 
I have some doubts if I could do it or not.

Regards,
Eli
