[opencms-dev] OpenCMS Usage

[Nitin Gupta]

Thanks.

 

Since my application is already developed and now I need to integrate
OpenCMS with it, I would prefer to use to two standalone applications.

 

I would be glad if someone on the list can share their experience for this
kind of integration and also guide me to some resources which can be
referred for this kind of integration

Dear Nitin Gupta



 
We are writing a web application but this application will be supported by
quite a number of static pages as well as static content on the dynamic
pages which will be rendered through my Spring MVC based application. My
application will have following types of pages:
 
 
...
 
 
The content that I am looking to manage from OpenCMS is :
 
-          Static banner advertisements (page type 1) with formatting on my
application pages
 
-          Images for template selection (page type 2) can be served
completely from OpenCMS
 
-          User education material (page type 1) with formatting on my
application pages
 
-          And if possible, the drop down menu options on application pages
which can be rendered using some JSP tags
  

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

Dear Nitin Gupta
 
 
 
 
I am writing a web application which is required to be made available for
general internet users. I am contemplating a static content management
solution so that we can easily manage the content without going to the JSP
files and making changes there.
  
 
which relationship exactly will your application have with the content
management system? Which kind of application? Is is a mostly static web site
that you want to make more easy to update or is it a web application that
you want to implement? It seems that you speak about two quite different
things at the same time, so it is difficult to understand what exactly you
try to do.
 
Kind regards
Christian
 
 
 
 
 
 
Main content which I am looking to manage through a solution like OpenCMS
are:
 
 
 
-          Static Text on pages (with or without formatting)
 
-          Images
 
-          Drop down menu options
 
 
 
Please let me know if I can use OpenCMS in this scenario. My app runs on
Tomcat and we are using Spring framework with Spring MVC.

Nitin Gupta
