[support] Drupal Integration with a Struts-based Java Application

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.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
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
