Or visa versa. We use J2EE applications and
oracle enterprise applications to manage data that is included in Drupal. We
primarily use REST web services to accomplish this. So we make a web service to
provide the data from the J2EE application, and then write php drupal modules
to pull information from those rest web services into drupal via http calls.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: [support] Drupal
Integration with a Struts-based JavaApplication
Thanks for your input
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.

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