OpenCms as jsp/jsf replacement for JavaEE application practical?

Hi!

I would like to ask your opinion on the possibility/practicability to use OpenCms as a sort of presentation layer for a JavaEE based (web)application.

The idea would be to use OpenCMS instead of jsp/jsf.

Imagine Java Pet Store Demo or JBoss Seam Hotel Bocking example using OpenCms as Frontend.

The reason would be to move web page design away from developers with jsp/jsf/java knowledge to some OpenCms author with knowledge about domain objects.

Authoring would not involve creating some articles/news but rather to add a new form field or design pages used in a sequence of workflow steps. Instead of SCM versioned jsp/jsf you would have OpenCms versioning. Instead of deploying a new .war you would switch some content online (of course EJBs would have to be redeployed beforehand). Instead of usual content objects like articles, news, blog entries you would have custom java beans created based on some legacy database. And so on.

Any thoughts would be appreciated,
thx, Juergen

Hi,

I have done something more or less like you plan I guess, (ab)using OpenCms as front-end to embed crm-data in a website.

Technically there is a jstl-taglib which connects to the crm-system (through a webservice), and exposes defined content at defined spots of the website, with jsps which are embedded by the template.

best regards,
Yves

I also use JSTL in such systems. Do not underestimate that tag library.

On the other hand JSF 2.0 looks interesting: Ajax ...

The "facelets" (replacement for JSP) include a templating mechanism (and JSTL can be used in facelets).

See:
JSF 2 fu
Part 2: Templating and composite components
Implement extensible UIs with JavaServer Faces 2
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jsf2fu2/index.html

Anyone working on an integration of OpenCms and JSF 2.0 ?

Cheers,
Andreas

I agree JSTL is really performant....

On the other hand JSF 2.0 looks interesting: Ajax ...

I also included a Servlet in the jar which contains my tag library.
On this servlet I do POST requests per ajax (using jQuery)
 

The "facelets" (replacement for JSP) include a templating mechanism (and JSTL can be used in facelets).

See:
