In the Quercus case: Web Request -> Drupal/PHP -> Struts classes You would be able to reuse you java classes, but you also might loose the Struts interceptor stack. In JSON/Rest case: Web Request -> Drupal/PHP -> web request-> Struts action You would keep your Struts interceptors here. And you have not the pain with Quercus (which can be complex sometimes) The problem is, Drupal does use its own database with content. You would have to work that all up and redirect to Struts. To be honest, this all is pretty challenging. My guess is, if you use Drupal for CMS work, then you will not manage to get the Data to your Struts app without pain. You have only a serious chance if struts delivers business data (facts, user data whatever) and Drupal manages the CMS stuff. But then you have two databases....
