primarily use REST web services to accomplish this. So we make a web service to

Larry. By "used with" I mean that the CMS would be accessed via the
Java web application. However, the architecture you mentioned below seems like
a more viable solution. I can run Drupal separately from the application and
have the application pull from the Drupal MySQL database. This is also a better
design since the application is for user and the CMS is for the admin so they
really should be separate. <br>

entirely PHP, not Java, so<br>
runtime integration is out. (In theory there some sort of huge hack
to make<br>
PHP talk to Java at runtime, but I've never touched it as the very idea is <br>
scary.) You could, however, have a Java app read the Drupal MySQL
database<br>
and parse out whatever data it needs from it. The vast majority of
the data<br>
in the database is well-normalized SQL-friendly fields, but you do have to <br>
know Drupal's data schema.<br>
<br>
Really, it depends on what "used with" means.<br>

of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of
