[support] Drupal Integration with a Struts-based JavaApplication

[Metzler, David]

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.

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.
