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.

exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
