<br>1. are opencms and WAS in the same intranet and what protocols can WAS use to visit opencms server?</blockquote><div><br>Yes they are, but the idea is that the WAS does not visit OpenCMS server at all but OpenCMS server deliveres (replicates) the content to the WAS servers as static htm/jsp files or as content objects into database.
