Hi Bob, Sorry for the late reply. I wasn't signed up for the dev-list.
Although what I'm about to say may be considered bad language on this list :-) we ended up developing a module for OpenCms because our customer decided to use that instead of Magnolia. However the good news is that our integration is very loosely coupled using our SOAP web service APIs. You can read more about it here http://www.konakart.com/opencms.php . In order to integrate with Magnolia, all you should require are a handful of jars to put into your WEB-INF/lib directory that will allow you to communicate with KonaKart through SOAP. These jars are available in the OpenCms download package. If you would like to give it a shot with Magnolia we'd be happy to give you some support in order to get it working. Please write to us directly at (support at konakart dot com) or post a message on our community forum for questions / information that could be useful to the community.

Thanks, Bob ----------------------- original message ----------------- From: "Paolo Sidoli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Integration of a shopping cart Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 09:23:18 +0200 To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello, We've been asked to integrate our Java Shopping Cart ( http://www.konakart.com ) with Magnolia. We've never used Magnolia before and so were wondering whether someone could give us a few tips before starting. All KonaKart functionality is available through Java APIs or SOAP web service APIs. The options that we have thought about are: -Placing KonaKart into the same webapp as Magnolia. This solution would perform well, but we envisage problems with conflicting Jars and it certainly isn't the cleanest solution to maintain. -Placing KonaKart into another webapp and communicating via SOAP calls. This would give us the most flexibility since KonaKart could be installed anywhere and just be seen as a service by Magnolia. The web service approach is definitely our preferred integration method. If we went down that route, is there any functionality within Magnolia to facilitate the communication via SOAP or does anyone have any examples that they could share? Since KonaKart is free (and partly open source) and developed in Java, we feel that it could be a good match for anyone wanting to integrate shopping cart software within their Magnolia based application. Therefore we'd like to leave some examples / guidelines etc. for the community and would welcome the help of anyone requiring this functionality who is already proficient with Magnolia. Thanks, Paolo Sidoli ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://documentation.magnolia.info/docs/en/editor/stayupdated.html ----------------------------------------------------------------
