Integrating CMS with Spring MVC Application


I have a Spring MVC based application and there is a need to implement Blog with tags in it. I searched for various ways to integrate CMS with Spring MVC application, I come up with Open CMS, Mangolina CMS. But the way how they integrate with Spring MVC wont suit my requirements.

I am looking out for a solution where in I can implement CMS(Blog) without making any changes/minimal changes to existing application. The current application use JSP as views. I found similar question here Looking for an CMS that can be plugged into a Spring MVC Application, but the answers given does not suit my needs.


Solution

  • After various Java based solutions and understanding their complexity in integrating with my application, I considered installing WordPress on Tomcat to be the best solution. In my case, I can hardly spare a couple of days for blog as it is just an additional functionality to my app.

    I followed below url http://www.studytrails.com/blog/installing-wordpress-on-j2ee-app-serveer-apache-tomcat-using-quercus/ in installing WordPress on Tomcat and pointed myapplication.com/blog to wordpress application. Hope it may help anyone.
