Hi Anders, I have a technology to integrate CMS content in portals. But this is not restricted to portals. For the integration you only have to install a servlet in your web application. This servlet is configurable with a PortalConnector and a CMSConnector which handle the portal and CMS specific items. For your application the PortalConnector must be implemented.
To include pages into your application there are JSP-tags which are configured with the root page of a "microsite". This tag then displays the respective CMS content. I will soon make it available as open source on sourceforge. If you are interested just contact me (ralf at hirning.de) Ralf -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 13.

If you use an approach like that, then it would not matter which CMS > you used (though, of course, you will want to use Magnolia). You mean something like building a DOM of the resulting page by putting together parts requested from a standalone CMS? We have lots and lots of existing JSP pages, and quite high performance requirements, so changing to an architecture that radical isn't possible. It's mostly plain JSP pages we have, but we're in a long-term transition to using Spring MVC as well. I don't have the luxury of letting the CMS solution dictate how our entire web solution will look, the CMS part is only a small part of the whole. That's why I'm looking for some way of integrating a CMS into... just about anything. :) /Anders ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://www.magnolia.info/en/magnolia/developer.html ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://www.magnolia.info/en/magnolia/developer.html ----------------------------------------------------------------
