Thank you for the clarification. This should be very feasible.

Opencms allows to use third-party taglibs in its JSP templates. There 
seem to be people that have used Spring in connection with it.

You should try to develop a clear idea how you will handle sessions, 
i.e. try to come up with a clear idea whether your spring application 
run inside of the opencms web context or as separate application. The 
latter could be a bit uncomfortable depending on how you handle login 
state and user information but people seem to have done it both ways: 
running an additional application separate or inside of the opencms 
webapp. The latter might be a bit easier to accomplish.

Overall, opencms should be a good fit.

Hope that helps
Christian
