Hi Typo3 developers!

Our company is considering an integration of our system with Typo3 and I'd
like to get an advice on how to approach this task. I'm total novice to the
Typo3 and I just read some docs and played with the demos.

Our application is a Java based server which need access to a content stored
in Typo3. The system must be able to browse the content repository, read and
write data and optionally create versions inside Typo3 (checkout/checkin).
How one would do this? One way we can go is to work completely on the DB
level accessing tables directly. We did it before for a few other CMSes (for
example, BroadVision). It works but it is not the best approach.

Can we do better with Typo3? Are there any APIs/extensions to allow a 3d
party products to access Typo3 repository?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations,
Dima Rogozin,
