[opencms-dev] OpenCms as jsp/jsf replacement for JavaEE application practical?

[Yves Glodt]

Hi,

I have done something more or less like you plan I guess, (ab)using OpenCms
as front-end to embed crm-data in a website.

Technically there is a jstl-taglib which connects to the crm-system (through
a webservice), and exposes defined content at defined spots of the website,
with jsps which are embedded by the template.

best regards,
Yves
