[opencms-dev] Integrating J2EE application with OpenCMS

[Pomegranate Software- Arash Kaffamanesh]

Hi,

in general you can integrate any J2EE Application with OpenCms (with 
more or less pain and performance problems ;-)).
It depends on how the eCommerce application shall interact with OpenCms 
and which framework(s) it is build on (struts, etc..).
To be able to help you, I've a couple of questions:
Is your application open source?
Are you willing (allowed) to tell us which eConmerce app. you would like 
to integrate?
Did you have a look on OfBiz <-> OpenCms integration?
Do you know about KonaKart shopping cart?:

Best,
Arash
