class=578190014-28042004>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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
